Set the Instant Pot to Sauté (Normal). Add the coconut oil and heat until shimmering, about 1 minute. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent, about 5 minutes.

Add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Watch closely — garlic can brown quickly at this stage.
