Instant Pot Vietnamese Braised Fish | Ca Kho

Fish will be extremely tender, so use a spatula and hands to remove haha. And if you don't overcrowd it like I did, it'll be easier to remove. Enjoy!!

I was looking for a dish to make the fish very very soft. Just what I needed. Pls add written instructions.

What is all the sauces that you put in there?

[@Seda_Gyonjyan]

isn't the fish overcooked? it had been in the boiling sauce for 13 min!

What does the coconut soda do for the dish?

Instead of braising in water, broth, or wine, we braise in coconut water or soda. It helps soften the fish and impart sweetness and flavor. You can use coconut water or broth instead. 👍🏼 If so, I would recommend adding more sugar.
