The moistest turkey breast I’ve ever made was in this Instant Pot. Although I generally cook this all day in the slow cooker, the Instant Pot produces such superior results. I was in awe at how quickly I was able to prepare such a delicious lunch.

Bland, bland, bland. Had to break out the spice weasel.
The recipe was very tasty and easy to make, I’ll be making this one again.
Loved it. Easy to make and tasted great. A new favorite for my wife and I.
NOT great szechuan. The quarter teaspoon red peppers does not add much heat. Recommend serving with some Chinese chili garlic paste. Also add bell peppers. But at this point it becomes a different recipe
This was really bland.
This was bad. Not spicy at all. Almost flavourless. And the chicken broth just ends up steaming the veggies.
Soooo good!!! The only change I might do next time is to chop up the peanuts…then you have a little crunch with every bite!
I substituted the watercrest with a cup of sliced red and green bell peppers. (1/2 of each pepper). Also, I only used 1/4 cup of peanuts I chopped up corsley. I served it on top of a rice medley from trader joe’s with Brown rice, Red Rice and Black barley. I stir fried a cup of frozen peas and carrots in a tablespoon of sesame oil with a sprinkle of ground ginger and black pepper then added the rice.
I made this exactly as stated, and it was OK. Kind of bleh. It needs some sort of sauce and I would at LEAST double the marinade recipe.
Added some of my other vegetables that were in the freezer. Other than that I follow the recipe to a T

This has become a family favorite at my house. I sometimes alter it a bit – using cashews instead of peanuts or green beans instead of broccoli – and I always add some sriracha as it is not spicy enough for my personal taste as written. I usually serve over stir-fry noodles or steamed rice. Delicious!
Will definitely make this again. Family loved it
Bland – you need to add more spice. If you can find szechuan sauce – it would probably taste better.
Very good recipe!!! My whole family enjoyed it!! Definitely will be making this again!!!
Husband loved that I made this. Will have to make again and again for sure. Needs a little more spice for us . Just added a teaspoon of chili paste.
I’d recommend using chuck steak instead of sirloin. It tastes the same and it’s a cheaper cut.
Thank goodness for reviews. Without them, I would give this recipe a 2. I made a ton of changes. Added 3 gloves of garlic , 1 tablespoon of hot pepper flakes and 1 tablespoon cornstarch to beef. Let marinade for 3 hours. Fried beef in sesame oil. Omitted broccoli from vegetable mixture and added sliced carrots, snow peas and baby corn. Also added 1 tablespoon cornstarch to thicken sauce. Served over white rice with Chinese noodles as topper and peanut soup on the side.Not too bad.
Left out the water chestnuts (don’t really like them) and added a lot more crushed red pepper for a bit more zest.
This is good, not fabulous. So many reviewers mentioned blandness, so I was heavy handed with the pepper flakes, which was good. I used sesame oil instead of vegetable oil. My husband had seconds, so it certainly was not a bad dish.
Needed some more spice to call it a spicy dish. Could use a bit of sauce as well
