Main ingredients
- 1 lb Chicken cut into small bite size pieces
- 125 g Flat rice stick noodles not vermicelli
- 1 teaspoon Minced fresh ginger
- 2 cup Chicken broth
- ½ cup Peanut butter
- 3 cloves Garlic minced
- 2 tablespoon Sambal oelek chili paste

Instructions
Instructions
- Set your Instant Pot to 'Sauté' mode and pour in the sesame oil. Let it heat til it’s shimmering but not smokin’.
- Add the minced garlic and fresh ginger. Sauté those just about a minute til you smell those fragrances fill the kitchen.
- Toss the bite-sized chicken pieces right in the pot and brown them on all sides. This step locks in flavor and texture.
- Pour in the chicken broth, soy sauce, sambal oelek, fish sauce, and peanut butter. Stir it all together so that peanut butter melts and mixes into the broth nicely.
- Now lay the flat rice stick noodles on the top, don’t stir them in—keep ’em spread out so steam reaches ‘em all.
- Close your lid, make sure the sealing ring is in place and set it to 'Pressure Cook' for 5 minutes. Wait for that pressure build and hear all the good steam cues.
- When it’s done cooking, quick release the pressure carefully to avoid hot steam surprises. Open the lid, give everything a good stir to combine noodles and sauce. If you want it thicker, just let it sit for about 5 minutes before serving.
