Ingredients

  • ½ cup soy sauce

  • ½ cup water

  • ½ cup brown sugar

  • 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar

  • 1 tablespoon mirin (Japanese sweet wine)

  • 1 tablespoon sake

  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic

  • 1 dash freshly cracked black pepper

  • 1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

Directions

  1. Mix soy sauce, water, brown sugar, rice wine vinegar, mirin, sake, garlic, and pepper in a bowl to make a sauce.

  2. Place chicken in an electric pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®). Pour sauce over chicken. Close and lock the lid. Select Meat function; set timer for 12 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.

  3. Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove lid. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the chicken should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C); if not, cook chicken for another 2 to 4 minutes.

  4. Remove chicken from the pot and cut up or shred. Mix with the sauce from the pot.

Cook's Note:

For a thicker sauce, cook for a few minutes using the Saute function.
