There are 5 parts to make peanut sauce noodles recipe.
Noodle
I have used Spaghetti instead of noodles in this peanut sauce noodle recipe because we like spaghetti in our regular pasta dish. You can use regular noodles or rice noodles. Time may vary depending on a variety of noodles you use.
How to cook Noodles/pasta/spaghetti in Instant Pot?
I follow a pretty simple formula when I make my pasta or noodles in Instant pot for an al-dente result – Take the time listed on the box, cut it in half and reduce one more minute. This formula works on every type of pasta or noodles like whole wheat pasta, rice noodles, gluten-free pasta, rice based pasta, lentil noodles/pasta, pretty much any type of pasta/noodles.
Sauce
To make Peanut Sauce for Noodles, I have used Creamy peanut butter, Dark soy sauce, sriracha sauce, rice vinegar, and brown sugar. You can use light soy sauce too instead dark one. Skip sriracha if making this for small kids.
Vegetables
We prefer lots of vegetables in our noodles recipe. I have used green beans, carrots, bell pepper, and green onions. Use your choice of vegetables.
Cook in Instant Pot
For al-dente pasta, cook for 4 minutes under high pressure in Instant Pot. If You prefer soft noodles, cook for 5 minutes instead of 4. Quick release the pressure.
Garnishing
Garnish Instant Pot Thai Peanut sauce noodles with some cilantro, crushed peanuts, green onion, and lemon juice. The peanuts give these Thai peanut pasta/noodles a great texture and crunch. Don’t skip the cilantro, green onion, and lemon juice, it really brightens up this dish. GRAB CHOP-STICKS AND DIG IN!! SO yummy!!
F&Q
Can this Thai Instant Pot recipe be made on a stove top?
Yes, you can make this on a stove top. Boil the noodles first according to the package instructions, drain the water and keep it aside.

Garnish it with cilantro, spring onion, lemon juice, and crushed peanuts.
