Notes

Several readers have complained about the dish turning out too bland. One reader recommended adding 1/8 tsp allspice, 1 tsp fish sauce and 1 tsp hot sauce. The same reader also added 1/2 cup of shredded coconut before pressure cooking. If you want to bump up the flavor, give these additions a try!
