Instructions

Combine the sauce ingredients in the Instant Pot.
Add the chicken to the pot.
Seal the Instant Pot and set it for high manual pressure for 8 minutes.
Use a natural release for 8 minutes and then an instate release.
Remove the chicken from the pot and keep it covered so it will stay warm.
Turn the pot to saute mode. Thoroughly mix 2 tablespoon of cold water with the corn starch.
When the sauce starts bubbling, whisk in the corn starch. Cook the sauce until it thickens. This happens quickly so watch it carefully.
Turn off the Instant Pot and add the chicken pieces back to the pot. Stir gently. Serve topped with sesame seeds and green onions if desired.
