Thai peanut noodles are so addicting. These are great served warm, at room temperature or cold.

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.

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.

Heat oil in a pan, add garlic, ginger, vegetables and saute for 2 to 3 minutes.

Then add peanut sauce, boiled noodles, mix well and cook 2 more minutes over medium heat.

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

Can freeze this Thai peanut noodles?

Yes, you may. Let Thai peanut noodle cool down, take it into airtight container preferably glass container, and freeze it. It stays good for up to a month.

Thaw before a day in the fridge. When you are ready to eat, splash some water and heat it in a microwave or on a stove top (in a pan).

Can this Thai noodle be made gluten-free?

Of course, use gluten-free noodles instead of regular noodles and gluten-free soy sauce instead of regular soy sauce.

Notes

This recipe can easily be half or doubled.

You can use any oil instead of peanut oil.

You can use light soy sauce too. Use 4 tablespoon if using light soy sauce.

Cook for a couple of more minutes for soft noodles.

If using rice noodles, cook for 3 minutes only and use less water.

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.

Adjust sweetness and spice level according to your preference. You may use any sweetener of your choice.

Use any red chili sauce like sambal, chili garlic or hot sauce instead of sriracha sauce.

Use less salt as soy sauce, sriracha sauce and peanut butter contain salt too.

You will notice that the noodles are little watery when you open the lid, don't worry, noodle will soak the sauce pretty quickly.

If allergic to peanut, use almond butter or any other nut butter. Works fine.
