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.
