Preparation

Chef’s notes

It’s easier to get a nice sear on the meat if it’s mostly dry when it goes into the hot skillet, which is why not recommending marinating the meat in the sauce.
For a vegan option, use sliced tempeh and marinate it in a little bit of the sauce before cooking.
For the rice:
1 1/2 cups rice, 2 1/4 cup water, a pinch of salt. Add to Instant Pot and cook on high pressure for 3 minutes, and allow for natural pressure release. This should give you enough rice for 4 very generous servings.
