Yield:
6 wraps

Ingredients

  • ½ cup hoisin sauce

  • 2 tablespoon water

  • 4 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch

  • 1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce

  • 3 large cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 14-16 ounce pkg. shredded cabbage with carrots (coleslaw mix)

  • 1 cup coarsely shredded carrots

  • 12 ounce skinless, boneless chicken thighs, thinly sliced

  • 6 8 inch warm flour tortillas

  • Sliced green onions

Directions

  1. For sauce, in a small bowl combine the first six ingredients (through garlic). Prepare as directed for desired cooker, below.

  2. In a 6-qt. electric or stove-top pressure cooker combine coleslaw mix, shredded carrots, and 1/4 cup water. Place chicken on top of cabbage mixture. Drizzle with 1/4 cup of the sauce. Lock lid in place. Set an electric cooker on high pressure to cook 5 minutes. For a stove top cooker, bring up to pressure over medium-high; reduce heat enough to maintain steady (but not excessive) pressure. Cook 5 minutes. Remove from heat. For both models, let stand to release pressure naturally 15 minutes. Release any remaining pressure. Open lid carefully.

  3. Using a slotted spoon, spoon chicken mixture down center of tortillas (discard cooking liquid). Drizzle with remaining sauce. Top with green onions.
