Noodles Instant Pot Pressure Cooker

I used to love noodles growing up. Hakka noodles are a popular dish in India, you can get them at the many chinese restaurants and even at the street side vendors. Interestingly, hakka noodles is not really part of chinese cuisine. Indians have given it a personal touch and adapted it to our taste. Here is my adaptation for this favorite made in the Instant Pot.

Pair these noodles with Sweet Corn soup and Garlic Chili Potatoes for a wonderful meal!

How to make Garlic Noodles in Instant Pot?

This is the pack of noodles that I get from the Asian store and have enjoyed very much.

Cantonese noodles

Noodles are very easy to make, even easier in an instant pot.  Just add the noodles, sauces, water and veggies. Mix them well and cook for 4 minutes.  The best part was they were not dry.  In the past, my husband would always complain that they are dry and not good to eat just by themselves.  But in the instant pot, they were perfect!

I add soy sauce, vinegar and schezwan sauce to this recipe.  You can choose to use a chili sauce or a garlic based sauce too.  You can add veggies, eggs, chicken or shrimp, whatever you prefer to these noodles.  I did not add egg or meat to this recipe, however it can add to the taste if you eat egg.

      Hi Pari - I would cook the egg separately and add it after pressure cooking. Glad you are enjoying the noodles.

    How would you add egg to this recipe? Just crack an egg or 2 into the pot before the cooking, or at some later point after it has started cooking?

    My family loved this recipe! Even my picky kids! We definitely plan on making this again... just absolutely loved that it was a dump and cook recipe! I didn't have Schezwan sauce so I substituted with Vegetable Stir Fry sauce and Chili Garlic Sauce... it was very yummy!
    Thank you!

    I tried this with Chow Mein noodles which appear to be same as Canton noodles. I forgot to reduce the water as the noodles were 6oz instead of 8oz so the texture was a bit wet and sticky but overall it was great. I am sure with 8oz it would be perfect. Your tip to wet the noodles evenly was very handy, I made it a point to flip the noodle chunks up and down to alternate their exposure to the water and get them fully wet before turning on the pressure mode. After manual pressure release I used saute mode briefly to try to dry the noodles up. The garlic flavor was great and noodles were cooked evenly, but post- pressure cooking I did add around 3 more tbsp of chili sauce, 3 more tbsp of vinegar, another 2-3 tbsp of reduced sodium soy sauce and salt to taste. Really enjoyed it with all the modification based on our preference. Thanks for sharing your recipes! It was truly so easy with virtually no effort required besides chopping a green pepper and no preboiling of noodles needed!

      Hello Vaab - Sorry to hear the noodles were mushy. I have tried multiple noodles and Canton noodles work best for this recipe. Please do try with canton noodles and you will notice a difference in texture. Thank you!
