Ingredients

¼ cup unsweetened apple cider

¾ cup chicken broth
3 tbsp. soy sauce
2 tbsp. light brown sugar
3 medium garlic cloves, peeled and minced
1 medium yellow onion, halved and finely sliced

Bulgogi is a traditional Korean dish that starts as a braise (as here) but ends up as a skillet fry-up. It’s absurdly aromatic, although we’ve simplified it a bit for the American supermarket. This dish is a sweet and spicy mix that should be served alongside cooked long-grain white rice and lots of kimchi.

INSTRUCTIONS

Mix the apple cider vinegar, sesame oil, chicken broth, soy sauce, light brown sugar, garlic cloves, yellow onion, ginger and red chile paste in the inner pot until the brown sugar dissolves. Stir the chicken into the sauce and lock the lid onto the pot.
Option 1 Max Pressure Cooker
Pressure Cook on Max for 10 minutes with the Keep Warm setting off.
Option 2 All Pressure Cookers
Press Meat/Stew or Pressure Cook (Manual) on High for 12 minutes with the Keep Warm setting off.
Use the quick-release method to bring the pot’s pressure back to normal. Unlatch the lid and open the pot. Spoon the chicken and sauce into bowls; top with the scallions and sesame seeds.
