Ingredients

4 chicken quarters
1 1/2 tbsp vegetable oil
2 slices ginger
3 stalks green onions
2 cloves garlic
1 star anise
6 cups cold water
1 tsp fine table salt
1 tbsp regular soy sauce
1 tbsp fish sauce
3 bay leaves
optional: 1 teaspoon sichuan peppercorn
1 large carrot
3 shanghai bok choy

1 stalk green onion

Steps

Set a 6-quart pressure cooker to sauté, heat the oil, and cook ginger, two sliced green onions, and garlic for 3 minutes.
Add the chicken, water, salt, soy sauce, fish sauce, star anise, bay leaves, and Sichuan peppercorn.
Seal the cooker and cook on high pressure for 20 minutes, then let the pressure release naturally for 15 minutes.
Remove the chicken, discard the bones and skin, and shred the meat after it cools enough to handle.
Add the carrot and bok choy to the broth, set the cooker to sauté, and simmer for 8 minutes.
Return the chicken to the pot, simmer for 3 minutes, and check that it reaches 165 F before serving.
