  • Fit a steamer basket into a 6-quart or larger Instant Pot or electric pressure cooker. The one that came with the pressure cooker or just a generic folding steamer basket will both work.

  • Lock the lid on and make sure the pressure valve is set to seal. Set to cook under HIGH pressure for 5 minutes. It will take about 6 minutes to come up to pressure. When the cook time is up, quick release the pressure. Serve immediately.
