General Tso Style Chicken With Rice For The Instant Pot

• Chicken and Sauce
• 2 pounds chicken breast, cut into 1/2" wide strips
• 1 tablespoon butter, to saute chicken
• 2 tablespoons Gewurtraminer, divided (yes you read that right, or Your Favorite White Wine in the fridge) use this to deglaze any brown bits of chicken stuck to the pan, or chicken broth, or OJ for 'orange style' chicken
• 1 onion (optional, you can do this without an onion)
• 3 cloves garlic (optional, you can do this without garlic)
• 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar (maybe this is too much)
• 1/3 cup low sodium soy sauce (this may be too much)
• 3/4 cup hoisin sauce ( i didn't care for the Kikkoman brand that J bought).
• 1/4 cup brown or white sugar (maybe a little bit more)
• 1 tablespoon frozen, chopped fresh ginger. or 1 teaspoon dried ginger if need be.
• Rice in the Inner Pot
• 2 cups rice
• 1 cup bulger wheat or barley
• 1 cup peas and carrots (this is very important!) thawed, at room temp, frozen could also work just fine, or use any other bite size veggie
• 4 cups chicken broth, divided (i add about 3 cups to the inner pot, then get nervous about the sauce being too thick, and add 1/2-1cup to the chicken sauce.

1. 1. Dial in 'saute' mode on 'HIGH' heat. Add the butter and cook the chicken a few minutes on each side, until slightly brown. (or cook the onion and garlic first if doing that).
2. 2. deglaze any 'savory bits' using 1 tablespoon
