Japanese food has a very special place in our hearts. And we’ve been eager to develop more Japanese comfort food with our Instant Pot Pressure Cookers.

Stay tuned! Because this Instant Pot Chicken Teriyaki Rice Bowl is just one of many more recipes we’re excited to share with you!! 😀

We tested this Teriyaki Chicken in Instant Pot using 3 different soy sauces (Kikkoman Tamari soy sauce, Lee Kim Kee Chinese light soy sauce, regular Kikkoman soy sauce).

As well as testing the best cooking time to make the most tender & juicy bone-in chicken thighs with skin.

And we finally found success in making delicious Instant Pot Teriyaki Chicken on our 5th try! 😀

We’re in love with using the Pot-in-Pot (PIP) method in our Instant Pot Pressure Cooker.

This convenient trick we’ve learned from our grandparents is perfect for cooking rice and the main dish separately at the same time in the same pot!

Yes to less dishes to wash! 😛

What is Pot-in-Pot Method?

The Pot-in-Pot method is where instead of cooking all the ingredients directly in the pot, you can cook 2 or more food items/dishes separately in the same pot at the same time!

How to use Pot in Pot?

Place your Recipe #1’s ingredients in Instant Pot’s inner pot Add Steamer Rack/Trivet in Instant Pot Place your Recipe #2’s ingredients in an oven-safe container on the rack in Instant Pot Close lid and pressure cook!

This will separate Recipe #2 from Recipe #1’s liquid and/or ingredients that are directly in the inner pot.
