I have to admit, I’m a fan of takeout Chinese or Asian food. In fact one of the things I miss most about New York is not the birthplace of fabulous wings, but a little restaurant called Aja Noodles, which had the best ever Chicken Fried Rice and I still crave it! The best part about takeout is the easy factor. That’s why Instant Pot Beef and Broccoli is a great way to go – because not only does pressure cooking do a fabulous job with Asian dishes, its also got the easy factor we all love.
