I wanted to save this recipe for my Fake Out Take Out Series (coming soon), but I just could not keep this goodness from you all. Ramen is a classic comfort food. In fact, Will & I have a spot here in Fort Collins that we frequent & love when we need a good date night out. However, many restaurants have loads of additives in their broth. MSG, Corn Starch, soy & sugar just to name a few.
So why not make it at home in less than 30 minutes? The plus side is that you can control your ingredients, load up on your favorite veggies & most importantly: have leftovers! This broth is delicious & I highly recommend making a batch just to sip on. Notes to freeze broth is below.
Freezing Notes: Freeze broth in a glass container. When filling the container, leave space for liquid to expand when frozen. Keeps up to 4-6 months in the freezer. Broth will remain safe after 6 months but for best quality, abide by the 4-6 month time frame.

- For the Broth: On the Saute Feature, Heat 1 tbsp. toasted sesame oil and 1 tbsp. avocado oil.. When hot, add the diced onion and saute until the onions are tender, about 5 minutes.
- Add the sliced garlic and saute for 1 more minutes, or until fragrant but being careful not to burn.

- While the IP releases it's pressure, heat up your chicken in the microwave or in a frying pan with a bit of oil.
