Instructions
Instructions
- Set your Instant Pot on sauté mode and pour in the sesame oil. Let it get hot enough to start waking up those aromatics.
- Sauté the minced garlic and ginger for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Add the chicken pieces and brown them well, about 5 minutes.
- Stir in the chicken broth, sambal oelek, fish sauce, and soy sauce. Mix them together well.
- Lay the rice stick noodles on top without stirring them in. Close the lid tight and set the valve to sealing.
- Cook on high pressure for 4 minutes. Once done, do a quick release of steam by carefully switching the valve to venting.
- After pressure's out, stir in the peanut butter until everything gets creamy and sticky.
- Serve the noodles, garnished with the peanuts or green onions as desired.
Notes
Serve with additional chopped peanuts and cilantro for extra crunch and freshness.
