Instant Pot Sesame Noodles are the best. Chinese Egg Noodles, infused fragrant oils and minced garlic for a simple and quick delicious lunch.

Instant Pot Sesame Noodles

Sesame Noodles are divine decadence. A simple lunch or dinner quickly made in the Instant Pot Electric Pressure Cooker, Ninja Foodi or Pressure Cooker. The combination of various oils and bite of the minced garlic make Instant Pot Sesame Noodles a comforting meal.

Ingredients for Instant Pot Sesame Noodles

  • Chinese Egg Noodles
  • Pure Sesame Oil
  • Toasted Sesame Oil
  • Hot Chili Oil
  • Canola Oil
  • Soy Sauce
  • Seasoned Rice Vinegar
  • Lots of Garlic
  • Sugar and Scallions

The Rose Brand Gourmet Chinese Egg Noodles are seriously delicious. Try hard to see if you can find them.

Pro Tip:  Use spiralized zucchini and carrots in place of if you are eating low carb and keto. I recommend the OXO Spiralizer. It is also yummy with my Pressure Cooker Spaghetti Squash recipe.

Measure out the Sauce Ingredients

Measure out the Sauce Ingredients

The most effort for Instant Pot Sesame Noodles is mixing up the sauce ingredients. 

Sesame Oil Sauce

  • The various oils are the star in this movie. The combination of the four types of oils adds a huge depth of flavor. Each oil brings it own set of nuances.
  • Toasted Sesame Oil is a finishing oil and is added after noodles and sauce have cooked.

 

Whisk up the Sauce

Whisk up the Sauce

Give the sauce a really good Whisk and set it aside for a minute. As always, my very favorite Rösle Stainless Steel Flat Whisk is put to use once again.

Some people prefer to use their stove for this recipe, so I suggest trying my Sesame Garlic Noodles [w/Asian Flair] recipe. It’s a super quick recipe and equally as delicious.

 

Add Chinese Noodles and Fresh Water to the Pressure Cooker

Add Chinese Noodles and Fresh Water to the Pressure Cooker

Place the Chinese Egg Noodles right into your Pressure Cooker cooking pot and dump in some fresh water.

 

Pour in all the Sauce

Pour in all the Sauce

When preparing the noodles on the stove in a sauce pan, you will drain and rinse them and then pour on the sauce.

For this Pressure Cooker Simple Sesame Noodle recipe, the sauce is added right into the Pressure Cooker cooking pot. Simple, right? One pot. What can be easier than that?

If you want to just cook the Chinese Egg Noodles without the sauce, that is fine and then add the sauce after the noodles are cooked.

Low Carb Instant Pot Sesame Noodles

  • Use a spiralizer to make zucchini Noodles.
  • Boil water and give the zucchini noodles a blanche.
  • Make the sauce, but use a sugar substitute!

 

Chop up lots and lots of scallions

Chop up lots and lots of scallions

Chop up as many scallions as you like.

I used part of a gigantic one from our garden, which is probably equal to at least 8 scallions that come in a bundle from the grocery store.

I like scallions, but in moderation. I’m telling you, use a lot. You won’t believe how good these Sesame Noodles are with lots and lots of scallions.

 

The Chinese Noodles with the Sauce

The Chinese Noodles with the Sauce

There will be a bit of liquid in the Pressure Cooker cooking pot after you remove the lid and that is fine. You don’t want your noodles to be dry.

A little sauce in the bowl is perfect.

Pull the cooking pot out of the Pressure Cooker and dump the Pressure Cooker Simple Sesame Noodles into a bowl.

You want to get them out of the hot cooking pot.

 

Add lots and lots of Sliced Scallions

Add lots and lots of Sliced Scallions

Drizzle on Toasted Sesame Oil.  Remember, Toasted Sesame Oil is used for extra flavor on food that has already been cooked.

Add in lots and lots of Sliced Scallions and mix through.

 

Pressure Cooker Super Simple Sesame Noodles with Egg

Garnish with hard boiled eggs on top, if you like.

BBQ Sliced Pork is great on top too! I have to admit, hard boiled eggs taste great on the Pressure Cooker Simple Sesame Noodles.

 

Pressure Cooker Simple Sesame Noodles with Char Siu Chicken and Vegetables

Pressure Cooker Simple Sesame Noodles with Char Siu Chicken and Vegetables

If you want to make these Pressure Cooker Simple Sesame Noodles a meal, with meat and veggies, add in some sliced carrots and broccoli, along with the noodles (or Zucchini Zoodles) and sauce.

Chop up some cabbage and toss it into the Pressure Cooker cooking pot after you have released the pressure. The cabbage will wilt immediately. The noodles will continue to absorb the dressing, so toss it a few times.

Top with Char Siu Chicken, Beef or Pork. I like to marinate chicken overnight in Chinese Barbecue (Char Siu) Mix, then used my Air Fryer to cook the Char Siu Chicken. Yum!
