Make this Instant Pot Beef and Broccoli for a quick and easy dinner any day of the week. The beef is tender and simmered in a delicious Asian sauce.

I serve this dish with my Instant Pot Rice. If you enjoy cooking Asian dishes, you may also like my Instant Pot Cashew Chicken or the Chicken Lettuce Wraps.

If you have a pressure cooker and need a recipe that will completely sell you on the magic of this device, this Beef and Broccoli is just that. It’s quick and easy, has minimal prep and you don’t need to stand by the stove to watch it. The pressure cooking turns beef into a tender meat that melts in your mouth. I steam the broccoli in a microwave (it only takes 2 minutes) and serve everything over rice. It’s a simple meal yet packed with flavors.

I have finally created my favorite chicken wing recipe. It’s very easy to make and has minimal prep, which makes it my kind of food. The sweet and spicy sauce with a great sesame flavor is irresistible. You can use it as a marinade and then thicken with cornstarch to glaze the wings just before serving. Make sure to have extra napkins on hand because they are sticky. This is bound to be the best Asian appetizer you ever had!

General Tso’s Chicken – deep-fried chicken tossed in a sweet Asian sauce. This easy takeout recipe is one of the best you can make at home!

I serve this chicken with rice and steamed vegetables, like broccoli. I use my homemade Hoisin Sauce to make this dish.

One of the most popular Asian takeout dishes is General Tso’s chicken. It’s made with deep-fried chicken pieces with a crispy coating, then tossed with sweet sauce and served over rice. The sauce is very easy to make if you have just a few Asian cooking ingredients: hoisin sauce and rice vinegar. You can use apple cider vinegar as well. To save time, make the sauce ahead of time in a skillet and store in a jar until ready to use.
