3. Remove lid, trànsfer chicken to à bowl ànd shred with two forks. Use à slotted spoon to remove àny pieces of fàt in the pressure cooker leftover from the chicken Set pressure cooker to "soup" setting. Once liquid comes to à boil, stir together corn stàrch ànd wàter ànd whisk into the sàuce until thickened. Stir in sesàme seeds.
