INSTANT POT® SHOYU CHICKEN
Shoyu is a term most people are not not familiar with, but it effectively means 'soy sauce.' After inquiring at a specialty grocer, I learned there are five different types of shoyu. For this recipe I used a low-sodium soy sauce. For this recipe I bought a pineapple and cut enough slices and then blended the pineapple chunks until I got enough liquid for 1/2 cup of juice.

HAWAIIAN SHOYU CHICKEN
This is a Hawaiian dish that uses a Chinese cooking method with Japanese ingredients. You can literally find 100s of Shoyu chicken recipes in Hawaii and every household has it's own twist. The key if you want to be "authentic" is to use Hawaiian Shoyu, it's a bit sweeter than normal soy sauce (Shoyu means soy sauce in Japanese) which you can find in any Asian market. The basics of Shoyu chicken is poaching the chicken in soy sauce and other ingredients. If you like teriyaki chicken the flavor profile is very similar. I have friends that use Teriyaki sauce in their Shoyu chicken recipes.

Steps:
- Combine all the ingredients (except cornstarch slurry, green onions and sesame seeds) in a large pot and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Reduce to low and cook very slowly, covered, until chicken is tender, about 30 to 35 minutes more. Continue to skim the broth for fat and impurities.
- Remove chicken to a serving platter. Strain the sauce and bring to a boil. Thicken with the cornstarch slurry, adding it very slowly to avoid any clumps to desired thickness.
- Glaze over the chicken. Garnish with slices of green onion.
- Suggestion: Save some of the sauce, it goes wonderfully over rice, the dish tastes better the second day -- ;-)
- Serve with rice, and what the heck, mac salad! Onolicious!

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish. Look for high-quality chicken, vegetables, and sauces.
- Marinate the chicken: Marinating the chicken in a mixture of shoyu, garlic, and ginger will help it to absorb flavor and stay moist during cooking.
- Don't overcrowd the Instant Pot: Make sure there is enough space for the chicken and vegetables to cook evenly. If necessary, cook the chicken in batches.
- Use the correct cooking time: The cooking time will vary depending on the type of chicken you are using. For boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cook for 8 minutes on high pressure. For bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs, cook for 10 minutes on high pressure.
- Let the chicken rest: After cooking, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the meat, making it more tender and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Shoyu chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a busy weeknight meal. The Instant Pot makes it even easier to prepare, and the results are sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a quick and flavorful chicken recipe, give this one a try.
