Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 1 TBS sesame oil
  • 1 medium white onion, (sliced)
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, (seeded and sliced)
  • 8 ounces mushrooms, (wiped clean, cut in halves or 4ths if larger)
  • 1 TBS brown sugar
  • 1 TBS fresh ginger, (about an inch diced)
  • 2 TBS Thai red curry paste
  • 1 1/2 TBS fish sauce
  • 1 TBS reduced sodium soy sauce
  • 1 block firm or extra firm tofu, (drained and cut into bite sized peices)
  • 4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • 3 TBS lime juice
  • 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk, ((found in the Asian area of the grocery store, usually in a can))
  • sriracha to taste (, I typically add 1 tsp)
  • lime wedges for garnish
  • cilantro for garnish

Instruction

  • Heat a 6 or 8 quart Instant Pot, using the sauté  function. Add oil, onions, and peppers and sauté 2-3 minutes. **If you are going to add chicken, this is when you should do it (see notes below).
  • Add the mushrooms, and cook for 2 minutes.  Add brown sugar, ginger, curry paste, fish sauce, lite soy sauce and stir. Add tofu then broth.
  • Close the lid, seal the pressure valve, and set on manual/high for 4 minutes.
  • Once the time is up, let the pressure release naturally for 5-10 minutes, then flip the valve to release the remaining pressure (careful some liquid may spout out). Remove the top carefully.
  • Add lime juice, coconut milk, and sriracha to taste. Stir everything to combine. 
  • Serve the soup and garnish with lime wedges and cilantro. Enjoy!
