I just made your sweet and sour chicken. I was sloppy with liquid measurements so it was more soupy than I would have liked, but in the long run still tasty. I was intrigued with the idea of cooking the rice in the same pot at the same time. It worked like a champ. I have several pounds of Costco pork chops I didn't know what to do with, but sweet and sour pork coming up.

Great recipe, my husband loved it. Simple and delicious. I used a can of Dole pineapple chunks and dumped it all in, juice and all. It made it a little more soupy but it was easy and tasty.

I did not find this confusing, and and if experienced at cooking as claimed by a viewer, one glance you know what your in for. ty for the great vids to explain steps i found this important for me. My 7 kids loved this Thank you . I did some altering, I used (4 spoons) sugar free preserves, apricot, peaches or orange we made it a few times, then i only added 1/2 can of sugar free pineapple and 1/2 the peppers and onions, but when came time to thicken I added the second half of pineapple and peppers, i also added thin sliced angle carrots and slight thicker celery too. Too bulk it up for my family and add more veggies to the dish. we loved this. ty. looking forward to trying more dishes. i love rice vinegar i found white Vinegar was great in this dish to and cheaper is key for me. I'm hopping to find a southwest soup/stew my next goal to find. ty again.

In reply to Caroll Fisher. Hi Carol. I understand completely your frustration in saying that some meals are much faster on the stovetop. I include a pressure time in each of my instant pot recipes to help people gauge how long it will take to come to pressure and release pressure. For recipes like this, time is not the advantage--it is more being able to walk away instead of watching the sauce simmer, etc. But I would never want to give people false expectations or promises and try to be exceptionally clear about estimating total time. And I assure you--my pictures are all the exact recipe followed to a T.

Recipe was OK tasting ~ nothing really that special.
Time to prep, cook and put on table was not as quick with Instant Pot as cooking on stove top. I am experienced @ cooking ~ raised a family and
Knows what quick meals mean & having nutrition . The more I use a Quick Pot ~ the more I realize this is something that is being promoted with false promise 😔.
I don’t like recipes that give false time saving promises to young women that work, child rear & try to provide good meals in less time.
Plus the hpicture you provide ( is it your true picture from Instant Pot) ?
Thank you

In reply to Carol. Hi Carol! I am sorry for any confusion, there is 1 teaspoon of freshly grated ginger in this recipe. If you do not have, you can omit with delicious results.

Instructions for Instant pot sweet & sour chicken says to add ginger.
The ingredient list does not list ginger ?
Does recipe include ginger or not ?

In reply to Reginia Sam. Hi Regina! I would not use balsamic vinegar or apple cider for this recipe--the flavor would be much too different. Olive oil will work in place of canola oil.

Making this today, I have balsamic vinegar and apple cider and olive oil, will those work? Thanks

In reply to Gina. Hi Gina! I am sorry your sauce did not thicken as desired. It may have been a couple things. One, you may have needed to let it saute a bit longer to activate the cornstarch and thicken the sauce. Or it may have been the chicken, vegetables, and fruit gave off a bit more liquid that typical. In the future, whisk together another 1 tablespoon cornstarch with water and add that in if you need to thicken your sauce further. Hope that helps.

Hi! I followed the recipe aside from omitting the ginger, and I did add an extra 1/4 cup of stock because I have an 8qt instant pot. I don’t feel like the sauce got as thick as I’d have liked even after adding the cornstarch. Any advice about where I went wrong?
