Ingredients

  • 2 lbs baby potatoes (or small new potatoes), halved if large
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce (use tamari for gluten-free)
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar (packed)
  • 2 tsp toasted sesame oil
  • 4 cloves garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 2 tsp neutral oil (such as vegetable or canola)
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup soy sauce (use tamari for gluten-free), 2 tbsp brown sugar (packed), 4 cloves minced garlic cloves, 1 tsp grated fresh ginger, and 1/2 cup water to make the braising sauce.

  2. 2

    Set the pressure cooker to Saute mode. Add 2 tsp neutral oil (such as vegetable or canola) and saute 2 lbs halved if large baby potatoes (or small new potatoes) for 3-4 minutes until lightly golden on cut sides.

  3. 3

    Pour the braising sauce over the potatoes. Cancel Saute mode, seal the lid, and cook on High Pressure for 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Quick-release the pressure. Remove the lid and set the cooker back to Saute mode.

  5. 5

    Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes until the sauce reduces into a sticky glaze that coats the potatoes. Remove from heat and drizzle with 2 tsp toasted sesame oil.

  6. 6

    Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds and 2 thinly sliced green onions.
