Ingredients
  

  • 1 bag of frozen meatballs
  • 2 bell peppers; chopped colors of choice
  • 2 teaspoons sesame seeds
  • 1 cup water
  • 5 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger
  • 2 tablespoon hoisin sauce
  • 1 teaspoon pepper

Instructions
 

  • Place water into instant pot. Set basket trivet inside. Pour in frozen meatballs and set to 8 minutes high pressure (your meatballs are slightly less frozen please reduce the time). Release pressure when instant pot stops counting.
  • Once the pressure has been released remove the meatballs to a bowl. Drain the insert pot and place back into the instant pot.
  • In a separate measuring cup, add in garlic, ginger, brown sugar (can be replaced with honey), soy sauce, and hoisin sauce. If replacing brown sugar with honey use 1 tablespoon cornstarch to thicken as the brown sugar is the thickener. Stir sauce. Add meatballs back to the pot and set the pot to saute mode. Add in peppers.
  • Pour in mixture over the meatballs and peppers. Stir well. It will start to thicken once it does turn off heat and remove meatballs and peppers to a bowl. Top with sesame seeds, black cracked pepper, and serve with rice.
