- 1 lb Ground Pork (or Turkey, Chicken, or Beef)
- 1/2 small Sweet Onion, sliced
- 1 Tbsp Grated Fresh Ginger (or 1 Tbsp Ground Ginger)
- 4 cloves Garlic, pressed (or 3 tsp Garlic Powder)
- 2 Tbsp Low Sodium Tamari (or Coconut Aminos, or Low Sodium Soy Sauce if you are not gluten-free)

Turn on the pot's Sauté setting. When hot, add the pork and onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until almost fully cooked.
Add the ginger and garlic and cook, stirring constantly, for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Don't let it burn!
Add the tamari, vinegar, sesame oil, and chicken broth. Stir, scraping the bottom of the pot to get up all of the browned bits (deglaze).
Turn off the pot.
Pour the coleslaw mix into the pot, but do not stir.
Close the lid and set the steam release knob to the Sealing position.
Press the Pressure Cook/Manual button, or dial, then press the +/- button or dial to select 0 minutes (yes, zero). High pressure. The pot will take a few minutes to come to pressure.
As soon as the cooking cycle has ended, turn the steam release knob to the Venting position to do a Quick Release of the pressure.
When the pin in the lid drops down, open the lid and give the mixture a good stir.
Garnish with the green onions and Sriracha, and a little more sesame oil, if desired. Serve hot.

This was so delicious! I added some snow peas and it was awesome!
That’a great, Katie! Thank you for your review! Love snow peas!
This was the first recipe I tried, the first time I used my pot. I was fine until sometime during step 7 and I got the “BURN” indicator. I panicked and hit cancel. The recipe tasted fine, but there was a thin layer of over what appeared to be burn on the bottom. Any insight?
After you brown the meat you need to scrape off any browned bits from the bottom. That’s called deglazing. That and having enough liquid, and layering the ingredients without stirring should give you good results!
When do I add the additional vegetables (such as broccoli)?
If you cut your broccoli a little larger, you can ad it on top of the coleslaw mix. It will be a little soft as the cook time is longer than I normally do for broccoli. Cutting the pieces larger helps with that.
When it comes to Instant Pot recipes, I practically have you on speed dial Sandy – your recipes are so delish! This was another winner and adaptable in so many ways. I used ground chicken instead of pork, added a bit of extra soy sauce and sesame oil, a tablespoon of oyster sauce, some garlic chili paste, sliced crimini mushrooms and water chestnuts. I wasn’t sure the mushrooms would cook in 0 pressure so I did 2 minutes. The cabbage got a bit lost in the mix so I think next time, I’ll dial that back to your original direction.
Thank you, Linda! So many variations are possible!
I’ve made this for my family, but plan to make it for a gluten free family of 5 with 3 teens. Any adjustments to the recipe if I doubled it? What vegetables would you add to make it more hearty, or what could I serve with it as a side? It’s to bring to the family after mom has major surgery.
Thank you!
Hi Anne, the cook time should stay the same. Any veggie that will cook, but not overcook in that short amount of time: broccoli, cauliflower, shredded carrots, tofu, corn, peas, diced sweet potato, etc. A side could be baked potatoes, a salad, rice, baked apples, etc. It’s nice of you to do this for them, I hope their mom’s surgery is successful.
I made this tonight & added mushrooms. It was delicious!! I liked the fact that it was filling, flavorful & low-calorie & low-carb!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
