Hello, if I double this recipe, how long would I cook it for (instant pot), thanks!
Spicy and delicious. 18 min prep? Lolz. Plan for it to take at least 30 minutes to make.
My family loved this. Now to learn to make black pepper chicken & general tso chicken.
I made this and it is awesome. Easy to make and I added one more red pepper. Give it a try.
First meal in our Instant Pot. Delicious, although you may want to cut back on the pepper flakes if you’re not a fan of spicyness.
This was so easy to make and it’s soooo good. My family loved it!
Very easy to make and lots of flavor.
We get chinese takeout every Sunday night. I made this instead. Everybody wished I made more.
Love this recipe! Perfect amount of spice for me & my boyfriend. Definitely will be making this one again. I added extra sesame seeds on top when serving
