Instant Pot Garlic Noodles
These garlic noodles combine thick Canton noodles cooked pressure-style with soy sauce, schezwan sauce, vinegar, garlic, bell pepper, and garnished with scallions and sesame seeds. The result is a savory, slightly spicy noodle dish with a balance of tangy and pungent flavors. Cooking everything together in the Instant Pot infuses the noodles well and reduces active cooking time.
