Ingredients

6 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
2 tablespoons sambal oelek (chile paste)
1 tablespoon dry sherry
1 teaspoon minced garlic
6 cups broccoli florets
2 tablespoons chopped roasted peanuts
2 green onions, chopped

Steps:

Whisk soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, sambal oelek, sherry, and garlic together in a bowl. Pour sauce into a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®). Set a steamer basket on top of the sauce and place broccoli inside the basket. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 0 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Lift the steamer basket out and dump broccoli into the sauce below. Stir to coat.
Divide broccoli between serving plates and garnish with peanuts and green onions.
