My husband loves Chinese food, and I think when I was dating him, he had Chinese food every night.
While I like Chinese food too, it’s not too good for the waistline or the pocket book.
So, I started to experiment with how to make Instant Pot Chinese food, because 1. I love my Instant Pot 2. I don’t have time for simmering all day.
