Instant Pot Asian Style Veg Noodles

Why Instant Pot Asian Style Veg Noodles?

Instant Pot Asian Style Veg Noodles is a delicious One Pot meal. Makes for a great lunch / dinner / brunch option. The Indian Chinese is a far cry from the real Chinese served at , well, Chinese restaurants. Yet there are classics that are adapted (well not always in an indo Chinese fashion) and the Instant pot (IP) has been a boon to do so. 

If you had told me a few months ago I could make Asian style veg noodles in an IP, I probably would have scoffed at the idea ! But thanks to a huge learning curve, IP has been a life saver when the last few months have been chaotic and the IP truly is a life saver to put hot meals on the table, well literally hot & steaming !

Another Indo Chinese meal we love at home is this Hot and Sour VEggies in a flavourful Umami Spicy sauce

tips  to make the BEST Asian veg noodles in the Instant pot 

1. Keep all ingredients handy and cook on a high heat 
2. Let the noodles used be of a good quality. We used wholewheat Durum sphagetti, as we don’t prefer ramen or the instant type Hakka noodles at home 
3. Quantity of water depends on the noodle quality.
4. Do not cook for more than the indicated time for durum sphagetti (as indicated on the packet) 
5. Do a quick pressure release once cooking time is done . 
6. Cut the veggies into thin strips to cook easily, use as many veggies you think you would like.
