Day 77 ... Pressure Cooker Spicy Teriyaki Chicken

PRESSURE COOKER SPICY TERIYAKI CHICKEN
WITH POTATOES

1. Get The Ingredients
garlic. onion, ginger, chicken, white radish, 
tomato, potato and cili padi (for a bit of spice). 
 
This evening, I was going to have dinner with my kindy kid, Rapunzel, and her family. It was about 5pm when Justine and I reached home, we had spent the morning at Starbucks Borders, while Bryan was attending a 3 day seminar, starting on Friday, in Ampang. I didn't have much time, so decided to prepare a super-quick, hassle-free chicken dish in the pressure cooker. When rushing for time, the pressure cooker sure comes in handy. 


2. Chop The Ingredients

 3. Toss the Ingredients
Add sesame seed oil, teriyaki sauce, shoyu, organic dark sauce, pepper. 

Close lid. Turn on flame until the pot sizzles.
Briefly allow to sizzle some more before turning off the fire.
Leave on the stove to cook by itself.
The dish should be ready within 20 mins or so.
Bryan will heat up the rice when he gets home from the seminar. Justine was still full from snacking on our orange poppy seed cake. Meanwhile, I got changed for dinner with Rapunzel and her family. They would pick me up around 7:30pm. 
Justine says the chicken was a lil tough. Difficult for her to chew with her braces.
Yeah, that was kampung chicken. My mother bought me that chicken when she went marketing.
Am surprised it did not soften up in the pressure cooker. Next time, must put on a lil bit longer.

:D
