In this meal we have 3 dishes with one soup! It's called "San Cai Yi Tang", 三菜一汤！
1. Instant pot chicken
Ingredients:
1 tbsp. vegetable oil
1 tbsp. five spice powder(optional)
1 tbsp. brown sugar
1 tbsp. chili powder (optional if you cook for kids)
1 tbsp. smoked paprika
2 green onions
4 small slices of ginger
Sea salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 small chicken (3-4lb)
2/3 c. chicken broth
2 tbsp. chopped cilantro
Directions:
Pat chicken dry with paper towels then season generously with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, whisk together five spice powder, brown sugar, chili powder, paprika. Rub the brown sugar mixture all over chicken outside and inside. Give little massage, let the spices set on the skin.
Preheat Instant-Pot to saute setting. When the Instant-Pot says it's hot, add vegetable oil then add chicken, breast side-down . Let sear until skin is crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Use very large tongs to flip chicken then pour chicken broth in the bottom of the Instant Pot. Or you can use a different pan or wok to saute the chicken on the stove, the bigger wok works better for me, because that is easier to turn the chicken get all skin crispy. High heat first then turn to medium, watch your chicken skin the spices easy to burn.
After saute the chicken add green onions and ginger inside of the chicken.
Change setting to pressure cook setting on high and set timer to 25 minutes. Lock the lid into place and set the valve to “Sealing.”
Allow the Instant Pot to depressurize naturally then remove lid and take out chicken. Let chicken reset for 10 minutes before slicing.

Love the cabbage and have been making it similarly for a long time. Super versatile dish as you can use whatever you have on hand and make it so many different ways. It was one of my go to meals when I first moved out on my own and I should put in the rotation more often.

[@christybethjohnson]

[@benjamir6029]

I love your dog

[@JaniceWithTheTarlovCyst]

What brand of chicken powder do you use? Not one of the 3 Asian markets in my town sells it. 😭 I too love Chinese soy sauce; it's so flavourful.

[@leilla-shiwamartin6163]

Hi

[@joannawood1949]

So how do know how much ingredients in your food?

[@pjpersonal]

What brand is your favorite chicken powder?

[@janetz1001]

今天的晚饭好好吃的样子，不过生菜包菜之争里面有个小失误啦姐姐，好多人家的蚝油生菜也是炒的呢。。。。

[@deepikabelwal1991]

She said "MSG, GOOD FOR YOU"!!! 😮😮😮😮

[@iamsherlocked875]

It is, in moderation

[@tichtran664]

And technically found in the natural world. The experiment they on rats with msg is that they gave TOO MUCH msg relative to the size of a a animal like a rat.

[@tichtran664]

Even the EU DOESN'T ban msg.

[@Cherry_tangerine]

Your English name is really pretty but I read it as Vivian arson-

[@scottdelo7798]

There wasn’t a part of that dinner that didn’t look delicious. I wish I could have some.

[@dz1826]

I want bat spoons

[@Love-ob6bp]

Lovely Viviane! Can you teach us Chinese Tai chi and Qi Gong or the Chinese secret that keeps you so beautiful and sexy? 😉🙏💖

[@CookingBomb]

Lol 😂 Qi Gong is magical

[@nullvoid8941]

Not me thinking they ate the dog from the thumbnail

[@barbramiller9408]

Cooking with a dog.

[@m0rbidm0mma]

These videos TOO SHORT!!

[@danielsemmens6640]

How can be a Chinese family with Anglo husband

[@wt3447]

Please don't feed pepper peppers 🌶 😫

[@julianjulian9973]

Chinese family??? Hahaha

[@OCV102]

With the white husband who has yellow fever

[@popicelolly]

Why does she say Chinese family when her children are clearly mixed race? They're half white too.

[@Cc19283]

Because she cooks Chinese food? We don’t see her cooking spaghetti and chicken nuggets

[@popicelolly]

@@Cc19283 Exactly, we never see her cooking western food. It's like she's trying to deny that her kids white backgroud.

[@Cc19283]

@@popicelolly I like that she’s immersing her children in Chinese culture. It’s so hard to connect with your native culture, especially as a minority. Proud of Vivian for going the extra mile & incorporating it everyday. Can’t wait to see what her brilliant bilingual kids will do in the future

[@OCV102]

​@@popicelollyclaims chinese family but has a white husband and mixed children 😂
