If you're craving for extra special spicy food, then Chili Garlic Noodles is the one for you. Grab a bowl and indulge in the flavor of these noodles. I have made it in an Instant Pot by first sauteing the vegetables and cook noodles till Al Dante.
Press Saute in an Instant Pot and add oil (Olive Oil & Hot Chili Oil), When oil is hot, add onions & white part of Green Onions, and saute for 2-3 minutes.
When onions turn translucent, add rest of the vegetables except garlic, and saute for 1-2 minutes until a little tender. then fold in garlic with the vegetables.
Add noodles on top of the vegetables. If you cannot layer them as a whole, then break them in half and top over the vegetables. Add water and the seasonings over the noodles and close the lid.(Note: Timer depends on the spaghetti. Check the instruction on the spaghetti bag. Divide the cooking time by half (½) and -1. Meaning, Cook Time for Spaghetti is 12. Divided by ½= 6. Then -1= 6-1=5)
With the vent in the sealing position, pressure cook for 5 minutes. When the timer beeps move the vent to the venting position, Quick Release.
Open the lid, and mix until everything is combined well. Transfer in a bowl and garnish with green onions, cilantro, and sesame seeds.
Notes
Time Adjustment: Based on the instructions mentioned on the noodles packet, half the time and then take away 1. For Example- If it's mentioned cook the noodles for 8 minutes, half the time (8/2=4), then take way 1 (4-1=3)Once timer is done, immediately tun the vent to the venting position. Don't overcook the noodles, otherwise they will turn soggy.If you like vegetables a little tender, you can also add vegetables after timer beeps and leave it for 2-3 minutes.You can adjust the seasonings as per your taste. I have added Soba Noodles in the recipe, but surely can add any noodles you prefer.
