Instant Pot Pineapple Chicken 101:

*Instead of thighs, I use 2 pounds of boneless, skinless chicken breasts, which is about 4 large.  Cook time stays the same.

*I use 1/8 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes instead of the 1 tsp. called for in the recipe.

*To peel ginger, scrape the skin off with the back of a spoon.  Here is a video showing how to mince ginger:

*For the slurry, I use 3 tablespoons of cornstarch and 3 tablespoons of pineapple juice.

*Toasted sesame seeds are very easy to make!  Add the desired amount of sesame seeds to a dry skillet.  Toast over medium heat until lightly browned, stirring occasionally.  Watch carefully to avoid scorching.

*I have two foolproof recipes for white rice.  One uses the microwave, and one uses the pressure cooker:
