Thai Peanut Noodles {Instant Pot}
Description
In this recipe, spaghetti is pressure-cooked in an Instant Pot with a sauce made from peanut butter, honey or agave syrup, soy sauce, vegetable broth, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and red bell pepper. The noodles absorb the flavorful sauce while cooking, resulting in a richly coated, tender dish.
The sauce balances sweetness, saltiness, and acidity, with peanut butter providing creamy texture and depth. Garlic and ginger contribute aromatic warmth, while red pepper adds mild freshness and crunch. Optional sriracha adjusts spiciness according to preference. Cilantro and lime juice added just before serving enhance brightness and fresh herbal notes.
This dish can be served as a main course or side, suitable for those who enjoy peanut-flavored Asian-inspired noodles and want a convenient Instant Pot recipe that melds bold flavors and soft noodles quickly.
