    Introduction

    This healthy Instant Pot Thai noodles recipe is my take on a Thai restaurant favorite of pad thai. Rice wine vinegar, brown sugar, and chili garlic sauce gives the Thai peanut sauce its delicious tangy, sweet, spicy flavor.   

    When I prepare this recipe on the stovetop, I make it with rice noodles or chow mein noodles.  However, pressure cooking those kinds of noodles in the Instant Pot would turn them to a gelatinous mush, so I substitute spaghetti.  

    The spaghetti holds up to pressure cooking with the peanut sauce and still has a chewy consistency.  I love to serve these noodles as a main dish but I also like to serve them as an accompaniment to my Instant Pot Thai Grilled Chicken (Gai Yang) or other grilled dishes.  In that case, I omit the chicken and just use veggies.

    Of course you could make this recipe on the stovetop, but I love the convenience of cooking the noodles and sauce together.  Less mess, and there’s no need to watch over it.  Just add the ingredients and walk away!

    Tips and Substitutions


    Lime juice

    The Thai peanut sauce has a bold tangy flavor that my family loves.  If you’re not a big fan of tangy flavors, I would suggest that you add half the quantity of lime juice before cooking and add more at the end, to taste.


    Make it vegetarian

    To make this dish vegetarian, you can omit the chicken and add some extra veggies.  Substitute fish sauce with soy sauce.  No other changes are needed to the recipe.


    Rice wine vinegar

    Rice wine vinegar is also called rice vinegar.


    Fish Sauce

    I really like the quality of Red Boat fish sauce which you can find at Asian grocery stores or on amazon.  But it is more expensive than other fish sauce brands.  Tiparos is another brand of fish sauce I’ve used – it’s more affordably priced.

    There’s no substitute for fish sauce.  It adds that depth of flavor, the umami, to dishes.  I’ve had vegetarian readers recommend the Fysh brand of sauce.  But I haven’t tried it.  You may need to add a little extra.

    Soy sauce is also a substitute for fish sauce, but there is a flavor difference.

    Spaghetti

    The spaghetti I use for this recipe is Barilla Spaghetti No. 5 which is a medium thickness.  Its stove top cook time is 9 minutes.  If the cook time listed on your package is different, you may need to change the pressure cook time.

    Spaghetti tends to clump together when cooked in the Instant Pot.  You can reduce the clumping drastically by spreading out and layering the dry spaghetti in a criss-cross pattern.  If there are still clumps when pressure cooking is completed, stir the spaghetti and separate the clumps using a fork.


    Liquid

    You may find that there’s extra liquid when you open the Instant Pot.  Just allow the Instant Pot Thai Peanut noodles to rest for a few minutes and they should thicken up nicely.


    Chili Garlic Sauce

    I like to use the Huy Fong brand of chili garlic sauce.  It has a tangy, garlicky flavor that I love.  You could substitute sriracha sauce or sambal oelek, but they don’t have the same garlic flavor so you may need to add some garlic.


    Toppings

    I add chopped peanuts, green onions, and bean sprouts as a garnish for these Thai peanut noodles.

    Pro Tip


    For some foods such as noodles, I find it helpful to release the steam in small bursts: less than 1-second intervals.  Once the steam coming out is less forceful, I release the remaining pressure in a steady stream. Read more about the different pressure release methods.

    Add vegetables

      I’m a novice instant pot cook. I would prefer to make this with whole wheat pasta. I didn’t understand your response to another person who asked this question. Would I cook the whole wheat pasta longer than regular? If so how much longer would you recommend for 8 ounces?
      Thanks

        Vivian, what I meant to say is that it would depend on how long your box says to cook the whole wheat noodles. If it’s 9 or 10 minutes, you wouldn’t need to change the cooking time. If it’s different, you would take the box recommended cook time, divide by 2 and add 1. Round up. Hope that helps.

      I got an Instant Pot for Christmas and really want to try this recipe. We are working on lowering our carb intake, so I really want to use zoodles in place of the pasta. Will I need to change the amount of broth?

        I wouldn’t pressure cook the zoodles – they’ll disintegrate! I would make the recipe in saute mode in the Instant or on the stovetop, and include little to no broth.

      We loved this! Doubled the recipe for my big eaters – it fit just fine in my 6 qt Instant Pot and we had plenty for my three teenagers. Because I added extra chicken, I sauteed it in another pan since the IP doesn’t have much surface area, then added the cooked chicken to the Instant Pot and proceeded as the recipe called for. Will definitely make this again.

      This is the 1st recipe I made from this site. Delicious, full of flavor and super easy to make. I doubled the recipe and it fed 6 (3 kids, 3 adults… and we’re not huge eaters). This is better than what you’ll get in a restaurant AND you can add more of your own personal favorite veggies to it. This recipe will be a regular for my family.

      This my first recipe in my new instant pot and it came out great! I was craving Thai and looking for something with a spicy peanut sauce and plenty of veggies. I ended up making a lot of substitutions because I did not have all of the ingredients in my home but still turned out perfect.

      I ended up using crunchy peanut butter because it was all I had and i thought it added a very nice texture!

        Carol, sounds like you may need some more liquid next time. It could be due to various reasons, including type of ingredients, evaporation, etc. But I would try to add another 2 tablespoons of liquid when you’re cooking. I find that even if there’s extra liquid after pressure cooking, it gets absorbed by the pasta as it sits. Thanks for your question.

        Ben, I think you should be good. If you wanted to play it safe, you could add some extra liquid and it will probably get absorbed while it’s resting. Thanks for your kind comment!

      Made this last night. Once I figured out what 1 cup of chicken equates to, more or less, it was really easy. Really delicious and the kids liked it too. (My 5-year-old protested and refused to try it at first. But once he did he like it).

        Haha, sorry John! I will make a note in the recipe and add the weight 🙂 Thank you for commenting and rating the recipe – that gives others good information if they’re unsure about the recipe!

      Made this tonight, it was excellent. I used a pound of chicken, half a green pepper, half a red pepper, and a couple medium carrots. If the spaghetti doesn’t push down into the liquid, add some more broth, it will get absorbed.

      There is cilantro in the photo of ingredients, but not in the list. Might want to fix that.

      how many oz. by weight is “1 cup of skinless boneless chicken?” I’m guessing between 5-8 oz. by weight. Is that right? Thanks. This recipe looks delicious.

        Mark, I would say about 1/2 lb. I use about 2 boneless skinless thighs or one chicken breast. Hope you like the recipe.
