Pour about 5 cups of boiling water (using boiling water will speed up pressure building time) or more to cover ingredients. Select Manual/Pressure Cook, High Pressure, 10 minutes. 15 minutes NPR.
- In a deep skillet, add about 3 tbsp of cooking oil follow with sliced shallot. Once shallots release fragrance, add Shiitake mushroom and stir fry for 4 minutes. Then add oyster and white mushrooms and saute for another 3. Add sliced fried tofu, 2 tbsp of oyster sauce, 1 tbsp of sugar and 2 tbsp of mushroom seasoning and saute for another 2 minutes.

- Once cook time is up wait an additional 15 minutes for the IP to release pressure on its own, then slowly move knob to Venting to release remainder pressure. Open lid to remove and discard jicama and onion. Pour 5 more cups of water (about 10 cups total). Switch to Saute mode and bring broth to a boil. Season to taste with mushroom seasoning (I added about 1 tbsp) and/or sugar.
