Instructions:
Instant Pot Instructions (stove instructions in recipe notes below)
Select “Sauté” on the Instant Pot and heat the COCONUT OIL.
When the display reads “Hot”, add GREEN ONIONS, CARROTS, CELERY, GINGER, and GARLIC. Sauté a few minutes until tender, stirring as needed.
Stir in CURRY PASTE to coat and sauté a few minutes until fragrant.
Add COCONUT MILK, VEGETABLE BROTH, MUSHROOMS, BROCCOLI, CAULIFLOWER, GREEN BEANS, and CABBAGE. Stir to combine.
