- 2 stalks lemongrass, cut into 2-inch pieces and smashed
- 3-4 slices galangal or ginger
- 5-6 kaffir lime leaves, torn into pieces

Instructions
Follow these steps to create your Instant Pot Tom Kha Gai:
- Begin by setting your Instant Pot to the Sauté function. Add the chicken thighs and cook until lightly browned, about 3-4 minutes.
- Pour in the chicken broth and coconut milk, stirring to combine. Add the smashed lemongrass, galangal or ginger slices, kaffir lime leaves, and bird’s eye chilies.
- Seal the Instant Pot lid and set it to cook on high pressure for 10 minutes. Once the cooking time is complete, allow for a natural pressure release for 10 minutes, then perform a quick release for any remaining pressure.
- Open the lid and add the sliced mushrooms, fish sauce, and lime juice. Stir well and allow to simmer on the Sauté function for an additional 5 minutes until the mushrooms are tender.
- Remove the lemongrass, ginger, and lime leaves before serving. ladle the soup into bowls and garnish with fresh cilantro and sliced green onions as desired.
