Instant Pot® Spicy Orange Chicken - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 tablespoon hot chili sesame oil
    1 medium sweet onion, coarsely chopped
    1 cup chopped broccoli
    2 tablespoons finely chopped garlic
    1 tablespoon red pepper flakes
    1 teaspoon garlic salt
    1 teaspoon ground ginger
    1/4 teaspoon grated orange zest
    3/4 cup orange juice
    1/2 cup reduced-sodium tamari
    1/4 cup spicy chili sauce (such as Maggi(R) Masala)
    1/4 cup honey
    1 pound chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch pieces
    3 tablespoons cornstarch
    1/2 cup chicken broth, warmed
    2 tablespoons aji mirin sweet rice cooking wine (such as Kikkoman(R))
Preparation
    Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot(R)) and select Saute function. Heat sesame oil in the pot and add onion. Saute, stirring occasionally, until translucent, about 2 minutes.
    Add broccoli, garlic, red pepper flakes, garlic salt, ginger, and orange zest. Cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Pour in orange juice, tamari, chili sauce, and honey. Stir in chicken. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 5 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
    Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, 10 to 40 minutes. Meanwhile, whisk cornstarch with chicken broth until dissolved.
    Pull chicken and vegetables out of the sauce using a large slotted spoon. Place pressure cooker back on Saute mode. Cook until sauce starts bubbling; add cornstarch mixture. Let sit for 1 minute, stir, and turn pressure cooker off.
    Stir aji mirin into the sauce. Add chicken and vegetables back in.
