• Add chicken broth, chicken thighs, chicken breasts, thyme, marjoram, salt, and pepper. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 9 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure carefully using the quick-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, about 5 minutes. Carefully remove the chicken pieces with tongs and place them in a bowl to cool slightly; discard bay leaf.
• Mash butter with the flour to make a smooth paste; set aside.
• Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in a bowl for the dumplings. Cut in cold butter until mixture is the texture of cornmeal. Stir in parsley and set aside.
• Shred cooled chicken and return to the pot. Taste the broth and adjust the seasoning if needed. Add peas and green beans. Stir in the flour-butter paste. Select Saute function to bring broth back to a boil.
• Pour buttermilk into the dumpling mixture and stir until combined. Drop the dumpling dough by heaping spoonfuls on top of the stew; a small cookie scoop works well.

• Mix together the baking powder, 1 3/4 cups flour and a pinch of salt in a medium bowl. Stir in the milk and melted butter until well combined. Set the dough aside.
• Set a 6-quart Instant Pot® to saute (see Cook's Note). Add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and melt, stirring constantly so it doesn't burn, about 1 minute. Add the onion, celery, carrots and a pinch of salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until translucent and softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the thyme and remaining 2 tablespoons flour until well combined, about 1 minute. Pour in the chicken stock and wine and stir. Add the chicken, peas, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and a few grinds of black pepper and turn the pot off.
• Carefully drop the dough in 2-tablespoon-sized mounds into the pot, spacing evenly (you should have about 9 dumplings). Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and preparing to cook. Set the pot to pressure cook on high for 3 minutes. After the pressure cook cycle is complete, follow the manufacturer's guide for quick release and wait until the quick release cycle is complete. Be careful of any remaining steam and unlock and remove the lid. Spoon the dumplings and soup into bowls and sprinkle with the parsley.

PRESSURE COOKER ASIAN STEAMED DUMPLINGS

Steps:

• For the sauté, use the sauté setting over normal, or do the sauté in a pan on the stove over medium heat. Heat the oil or broth and add the mushrooms once hot. Sauté until the mushrooms release their juices, then add the cabbage, carrot, soy sauce and rice wine vinegar and sauté until the mixture is dry.
• Remove the liner from the Instant Pot and set on the stove or a pot holder. Mix in the ginger and sesame oil (if using).
• Cut out a round piece of parchment paper to fit inside a 6- or 8-inch (15-or 20-cm) bamboo steamer. You will be able to fit all 12 dumplings in one level of the 8-inch (20-cm) one. No bamboo steamer? Just use your vegetable steamer lightly coated with oil inside your Instant Pot instead.
• Get a small bowl of water and set it up next to a cutting board to work on.
• Place a wrapper on the cutting board and spread water around the edge with your fingertip. Add 1 tablespoon (15 g) filling to the middle of the wrapper and fold in half, matching the edges. Press together. You can stop here or you can grab it by the middle of the sealed part and fold the dough in two places on either side. Then place in the steamer with the pleated side up.
• Put the top on your bamboo steamer (if using) and add 1½ cups (355 ml) water and your rack to your Instant Pot. Then lower the steamer into the pot.
• Put the lid on and make sure that the steam release handle is sealed. Select the steam setting and lower the time to 7 minutes.
• Use a quick pressure release to release the pressure.

INSTANT POT STEAMED DUMPLINGS (MOMOS)

Steps:

• Take a large mixing bowl, take the flour and salt. Mix well and add water slowly followed by oil and mix the dough until it comes together.
• Knead the dough well for a few minutes till the dough is stretchy and smooth. Cover the dough with a damp towel and let it rest for 30 minutes.
• Mix together all the veggies and add salt. Allow the mixture to stand for 5-10 minutes, and then use a kitchen towel to squeeze the water out of veggies. You can also use a nut milk bag or muslin cloth for this.
• Once squeezed, add the veggies to a bowl, season with pepper, chili oil, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix well. Your filling is ready. Taste and add salt if needed.
• If you want to make a sautéed filling, refer to the instructions under the notes section.
• Start by working with the dough half an hour after the resting time. Divide the dough into small pieces or Squeeze a ball sized dough out and leave the rest under the damp towel.
• Use a rolling pin and roll the ball sized dough on a lightly floured counter or rolling base until it is a very thin disc-like tortilla.
• Try to make this as thin as you can. To make the rolling easier, flip and dust with more flour as you roll the dough ball into a thin disc. This helps the dough not to stick on the rolling base.
• Use a cookie cutter to cut the disc into 3 1/2 - 4-inch circles. Remove the scraps of dough and reuse it for making another disc.
• Take one piece of the small circle and place it on your palm or on the rolling board. Now add 1 tbsp of filling in the center. Moisten the edges with little water and then fold and punch the circle edges to form a round dumpling.
• Use the same process to make more dumplings and place the finished ones on a lightly greased plate.
• Prepare a steamer basket or rack and lightly brush it with oil. Add two cups of water in the inner pot and place the steamer basket or the rack on a trivet. Now place each dumpling or momo on it. Leave a little gap between them as they may stick to each other while cooking.
• Set the instant pot to steam mode and set 12 minutes on the timer. Cover the instant pot with a glass lid or secure the lid while the vent is open. Steam the dumplings for 12 minutes or until the dough is not sticky to touch.
• Use silicone tongs to remove the dumplings and transfer them to a plate. Repeat the same steaming process with the remaining dumplings.
• Serve the instant pot steamed dumplings warm with dark sweet soy sauce or chutney.
