Hi there! I’m Tamara from Beyond Mere Sustenance<\/a>. I’m excited to share “healthy recipes with global flair” that I have created for the pressure cooker with Pressure Cooking Today readers! Thank you, Barbara, for the opportunity!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today’s recipe features Korean gochujang paste – an umami rich paste made with red chile, fermented soybeans, glutinous rice, and salt. Traditionally, the mixture was naturally fermented in earthen pots outdoors at home. That process has been replaced by commercial production in modern times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to make Korean Chicken Thighs in an Instant Pot<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

An Instant Pot is one of the most popular brands of electric pressure cookers. They are easy to use and your Instant Pot can help you create these delicious Korean Chicken Thighs!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gochujang is used in traditional Korean dishes like bibimbap and bulgogi. It is widely available in the U.S. in both Asian markets and grocery stores that carry a wide variety of international products.<\/strong> Having become something of an addiction for me, I keep a carton in my refrigerator at all times. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

My cooking style depends on a well-stocked pantry. I keep a list of pantry ingredients on hand. When I run low on any of those items, they immediately go on a phone app called OurGroceries<\/a>. All of the items that go into this dish are on that list: Gochujang, hoisin sauce, ketchup (I make my own most of the time), mirin, soy sauce or tamari, rice wine, rice vinegar, fresh ginger, whole garlic, chicken broth. Given that I keep chicken in the freezer, I can whip this up with basically no planning ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n

My work flow goes like this: Whisk the ingredients together for the BBQ sauce. Brown the chicken, and saute the onions, ginger, and garlic. Combine them in the pressure cooker. Add broth to about half of the BBQ sauce, and whisk it together. Pour over the chicken. Pressure cook on high for 15 minutes, and then release pressure. Stir the cornstarch into about 1\/4 cup of broth or water. In a medium saucepan, add the cornstarch mixture a little at a time to about 1 cup of the cooking liquid. Bring it to a boil. When the liquid is thickened as desired, add in the reserved 1 cup of BBQ sauce. Using a slotted spoon, remove the tender chicken pieces to a platter. Pour the sauce over the top, and garnish with the chopped scallions. Serve the chicken with jasmine rice or pressure cooker white rice<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
