Instant Pot General Tso's Chicken

I’ve been loving using the Instapot lately! All of the crockpot recipes can be converted to Instapot or vice versa. We LOVED this General Tso’s recipe. It needed more spice, but that’s an easy fix after. Do you have any favorite recipes? Feel free to comment with a link or shoot me an email
