Ingredients

1/4 cup dried onion
2 tablespoons dried green onion
1 teaspoon dried garlic
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon dried shrimp
1/2 cup dried shiitake mushrooms
2 tablespoons sundried tomatoes
4 pieces dried galangal
4 leaves dried kaffir lime
2 dried chiles
12 oz full fat coconut milk
8 cups chicken broth
1 to 2 limes
fresh cilantro

I have to apologize in advance—you’re not going to find many of these ingredients in your local grocery store unless you’re lucky enough to live near an Asian market. But it’s worth the effort to buy them online! Fragrant kaffir lime leaves, spicy galangal, pungent dried shrimp, and savory mushrooms permeate a creamy coconut broth in this traditional Southeast Asian soup. Jar Size: 2 cups

INSTRUCTIONS

Layer the dry ingredients in the jar in the order listed.
Place all of the jarred ingredients into the Instant Pot. Add the coconut milk and broth. Stir to mix. Cover with the lid and ensure the vent is in the “Sealed” position. Pressure Cook or Manual on High for 10 minutes. Allow the steam pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes, then release any remaining pressure manually.
Season to taste with lime juice and garnish with fresh cilantro.
