Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground chicken or pork
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 2 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional for heat)
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 head butter lettuce (or tortillas)
- Shredded carrots, cucumber, and sliced green onions for topping
Instructions:
- Sauté the aromatics: Set your pressure cooker to sauté mode. Heat sesame oil, then add the garlic and ginger, cooking for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Cook the meat: Add the ground chicken or pork to the pot, breaking it up with a spoon, and cook until browned, about 5 minutes.
- Add the sauce: Stir in the soy sauce, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, honey, red pepper flakes (if using), and water. Lock the lid in place and set the pressure cooker to high pressure for 5 minutes.
- Release the pressure: Once the cooking time is up, carefully quick-release the pressure. Open the lid and stir the mixture, allowing the sauce to thicken for a few minutes on the sauté mode if needed.
- Assemble the wraps: Spoon the meat mixture into lettuce leaves or tortillas. Top with shredded carrots, cucumber, and green onions for extra crunch and flavor.
