====Notes====
  *I've left out the edamame with no issues. I've also never used mirin or sherry
  *Sub soy sauce for tamari to make GF

====Instructions====
  -In a medium bowl, whisk together soy sauce, vinegar, honey, and (if using) mirin/sherry
  -Turn the instant pot to saute mode and heat the sesame oil. Add the chicken and season with salt and pepper to taste. Saute for 2-3 minutes, until lightly brown
  -Add garlic and ginger and cook for another 20-30 seconds. Pour in half of the sauce, uncooked rice, and 1 cup of water
  -Turn off saute mode, put the lid on the instant pot, and cook on high pressure for 3 minutes. Allow to natural release for 10 minutes
  -Remove lid and go back to saute mode. Add peppers, carrots, broccoli, and edamame
  -Whisk cornstarch and 3 tbsp water together, then add to reserved sauce. Drizzle in desired amount (I generally put it all in). Cook until vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes
  -Garnish with sesame seeds and scallions to serve
