Ingredients




16 oz noodles
1 carrot
2 different color bell peppers
2 tbsp ginger, chopped
8 cloves garlic, minced
3 stalks green onion
4 tbsp cilantro, chopped
2 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp sesame oil
3 tbsp soy sauce
3 tbsp honey
2 tbsp sriracha
salt to taste
2 cups water

Preparation

1 Cut all vegetables (carrot, bell peppers, ginger) and mince the garlic. 2 Select (Sauté) program and adjust cooking time to 5 minutes. When it's hot, add olive oil, sesame oil, minced garlic and ginger. Saute for about a minute until garlic and ginger start changing color. 3 Add the veggies - carrot and bell peppers. 4 Add salt, pour soy sauce, sriracha and honey. Stir them well. 5 When time is up, add Noodles, pour 2 cups of water. Close the lid, turn the steam release handle to “sealing” position. Select (Pressure cook) program, set the “Pressure Indicator” to “High Pressure” and then manually adjust time to 1 minute. Instant Pot Noodle Tip: Select the time manually and cook at high pressure for half of the noodle package cooking time minus 1 minute. For example, if the cook time is 10 minutes, cook at high pressure for 4 minutes. 6 When time is up, open the lid by using quick release i.e. turn the steam release handle to “venting” position. 7 Sprinkle with cilantro and green onion. 8 Well, easy and Chinese Noodles are ready. They turned out really delicious, flavorful and soft. Enjoy!
