- 1/2 cup red bell pepper (cubed)
- 1/4 cup green onions
- 1/2 cup broccoli (cut into small florets)

For the Sauce:
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon ginger paste
- 1 teaspoon garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon red chili powder

Instructions
- Dice all the vegetables and the chicken. Prepare all your ingredients before starting to cook.
- Mix together everything for the sauce. In a bowl, combine the chicken broth, vegetable oil, ginger paste, minced garlic, soy sauce, white wine vinegar, red chili powder, and brown sugar. Whisk well and set aside.
- Add the noodles, cabbage, carrots, bell pepper, and chicken to your Instant Pot. Place these ingredients in the pot.
- Pour the sauce over the vegetables and noodles. Do not add the broccoli or green onions at this stage. Stir well using tongs.
- Close the lid and pressure valve on your Instant Pot. Set the pressure to high for four minutes. Once the timer is up, perform a manual pressure release.
- Add the broccoli. Mix well with tongs. Close the Instant Pot by putting the lid back on, and allow the broccoli to cook for an additional three minutes in the residual heat. Do not turn the Instant Pot back on.
- Once the three minutes are up, open the lid to the Instant Pot. Mix your chow mein once more with the tongs, then serve topped with the green onions.
