Notes
We cooked this in an Instant Pot Duo Nova.
Hint: If the sauce mix is too runny for you - mix about 2 tablespoons of cornflour in 2/3 cup of water - whisk or mix it well so there are no lumps. Then return on the Instant Pot to saute - high and bring back to the boil. Then stirring constantly mix in the cornflour little by little and the sauce will thicken up nicely - keep boiling for 2-3 minutes after to cook out all the cornflour.
