Ingredients

4 servings

For the sauce

¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce
3 tbsp honey
2 tbsp mirin
1 tbsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp sesame oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
¼ cup water

For the chicken

2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken thighs (about 8 thighs)
½ tsp kosher salt
¼ tsp black pepper

For the slurry

1 tbsp cornstarch
Chef's tip
For thickening, use about 1 1/3 times as much tapioca starch, stirred into a spoonful of cold water first; take the pan off the heat soon after it thickens.
1 tbsp cold water

For serving

2 green onions, thinly sliced (optional)
1 tsp sesame seeds (optional)

Instructions

1
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, mirin, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and water until the honey is fully dissolved.
2
Season the chicken thighs on both sides with the kosher salt and black pepper, then arrange them in a single layer in the Instant Pot insert.
