Notes

You can make this vegetarian by omitting the chicken and using vegetable broth instead. You wouldn't need to pressure cook it. You can bring all of the ingredients to a boil using a soup pot on the stove.
White wine vinegar and apple cider vinegar can be substituted for rice wine vinegar. The dish will not taste the same and rice wine vinegar is recommended.
Peanut oil is a substitute for sesame oil, but the flavor of the dish will not taste the same.
You can substitute and add in any veggies you like.
