Ingredients
•
1/2 cup soy sauce
•
1/2 cup water
•
1/2 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.
