Instant Pot Soy Sauce Chicken and Rice Recipe: Super easy dump-and-go weeknight meal. Convenient time-saving trick to cook Pressure Cooker Chicken and Rice separately in the same pot!

Growing up, on days my parents wanted an extra treat for dinner or perhaps simply too lazy busy to cook, we’d drop by a Siu Mei Store 燒味舖 (Roasted Meat Shop).

Stepping into the shop, I’d be immediately mesmerized by the sweet & warm roasted barbecue fragrance.

Looking through the glass cabinets of glistening, juicy, beautifully caramelized hanging pieces of meat, I just couldn’t stop myself from drooling!

Oh yes~ Siu Mei is my weakness…from Siu yuk 燒肉 (Roasted Pork) to Char siu 叉燒 (BBQ Pork) to Siu ngo 燒鵝 (Roasted Goose) to Soy Sauce Chicken 豉油雞I just want them all!!

Ingredients for Instant Pot Soy Sauce Chicken and Rice

  • Regular Soy Sauce (Chinese: 生抽) – also known as “Light Soy Sauce” – “light” does NOT mean low sodium
  • Dark Soy Sauce (Chinese: 老抽) – darker, thicker, less salty soy sauce than regular soy sauce – it’s mostly used for adding color & different flavor profile to the final dish
  • Sichuan Peppercorn (Chinese: 花椒) – you can leave this out if you can’t find it

Tools for Instant Pot Soy Sauce Chicken and Rice

1

Make Master Stock Mixture


First, add 3 tbsp regular soy sauce, ½ tbsp dark soy sauce, 4 garlic cloves, 3 star anise, ½ tsp Sichuan pepper, and ¾ cup cold water into the pressure cooker.

2

Pressure Cook Chicken and Rice


Then, partially submerge the chicken legs into the Master Stock Mixture.

Add a tall steamer rack (as shown in left photo below) and place a stainless steel bowl filled with 230g Jasmine rice and 250ml water (as shown in right photo below).

*Pro Tip: If you rinse the rice before cooking, be sure to drain well and ensure the water-to-rice ratio is accurate. (Roughly reduce 3 tablespoons from the 1 cup of water)
