Thai food is a popular restaurant favorite, but it can be daunting to try to make at home. But making restaurant-quality Thai recipes is easy with these recipes.

This collection of Instant Pot Thai recipes takes advantage of the pressure cooking function to quickly infuse aromatics into curries, soups, and meat dishes while still maintaining authentic taste and texture.

These recipes use classic Thai ingredients like Thai basil and lime leaves to flavor the dishes, which adds fragrance and flavor.

It may be unusual to pressure cook Thai food, but these Thai recipes will give you the same great depth of flavor with the convenience of cooking everything in the Instant Pot.

Thai Fish Curry – Choo Chee Curry
Thai Coconut Fish Curry is one of the quickest dinner recipes you’ll make. It requires almost no prep but delivers amazing flavor. Flaky cod is gently cooked in a vibrant sauce with flavors of red chilies, lime leaves, and coconut. Creamy coconut milk perfectly balances the spice of the sauce, which tastes best when absorbed by a bowl full of jasmine rice.

Instant Pot Thai Coconut Soup (Tom Kha Gai)
This authentic Instant Pot Thai Coconut Soup with Chicken (Tom Kha Gai) is so easy, yet so flavorful.

Instant Pot Thai Peanut Noodles in black bowl garnished with cilantro - Paint the Kitchen Red
Instant Pot Thai Peanut Noodles
Instant Pot Thai Peanut noodles is my take on a Thai restaurant favorite. In this flavorful dish, plain spaghetti is elevated to a different level with a vibrant peanut sauce. Rice wine vinegar, brown sugar, and chili garlic sauce give the dish its distinct tangy, sweet, spicy flavor.  This dish can be made vegetarian by omitting the chicken and substituting fish sauce with soy sauce.

Instant Pot Thai Grilled Chicken Thighs on dark background with sprinkled cilantro and green onions
Thai Grilled Chicken Thighs
Thai Grilled Chicken (Gai Yang) is a popular Thai street food.  This Thai barbecue chicken recipe uses chicken thighs, which are meaty and perfect for cooking in the Instant Pot, because they stay moist.  Finishing on the grill and glazing with Thai sweet chili sauce gives the chicken a spicy-sweet barbecue flavor that’s irresistible! The Thai Chicken thighs are made in the Instant Pot and finished on the grill. [Grill-only instructions also included.]
