Instant Pot Garlic Noodles Recipe

Step 1

Place the Instant Pot Liner inside the 6 quart Instant Pot and plug it in. Break 1 lb spaghetti or fettuccine into halves. Add these to the inner pot in a matted order or fan order. Check this you-tube from my channel to watch how I place my noodles in the IP. Add 4 cups of water and Pressure cook on high followed by QPR. For this recipe you want al-dente noodles. My packet read 8-10 minutes on gas top. I cooked for 3 minutes followed by QPR which takes about 2 minutes. Therefore the noodles get about 5 minutes in cooking including the pressure release time. Drain the spaghetti and separate the noodles with a fork. Set aside. Wipe the bottom of the Inner Pot with Kitchen Towel. Put it back inside the instant pot.

Step 2

Press Saute and set on medium. When the screen displays HOT, add oil to it. After few seconds, add chopped garlic and saute for a 30-45 seconds till garlic brown nicely. Add bell peppers and saute further for 1 minute. Now add Soy Sauce, Vegetarian Hoisin Sauce-, Sriracha, Salt and Pepper. Give a good stir with a stirrer. Now add the cooked spaghetti (noodles of your choice) back to the pot. Add chopped scallions. Give it all a good toss using the tongs. Sprinkle sesame seeds and serve warm.

Step 4

This recipe can easily be made on gas -top. Boil the pasta separately and drain. Saute the garlic and add sauces followed by boiled pasta. Toss it all together.  If you are using any vegetables then you will add those after sauteeing the garlic. Finish with the garnish and serve hot.
