Instant Pot Sesame Noodles [Garlic Oil Infused]

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

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!

    Wow! I made this tonight (f or some reason, I had a recipe you provided that was a little bit different than this one.) and boy was it delish! I couldn’t find the specific Chinese egg noodles your recommended, but I bought a different brand through Amazon and they worked out great. Thanks so much for all your great recipes and videos! One question, despite me loving this to death, it did seem a bit oily for our tastes. Is it possible to cut down on some of the oils? I’d love to hear your thoughts on this. Again, thank you so much for rekindling my love affair with cooking!!!

    Hi! I’ve made these before and it turned out fabulous! I’m going to try again for a dinner party type thing i’m hosting – and planning on upping the veggie content (I don’t eat a ton, but I have vegetarian friends 🙂

    Do you put the raw carrots / broccoli and such in at the beginning – with the dry noodles and such, in order to cook them appropriately?

    Any other veggies people have found that make yummy additions?

    Thanks so much!

    Hi, Thanks so much for the recipe. I can’t wait to try it. I’m in Los Angeles too. Do you buy your noodles locally? If so, where? Is it 99 Ranch Market?

    Thanks so much for sharing your recipes with us!!

    I don’t care for spicy food (I know, I’m boring). Can the hot chili oil be omitted?

      Yes, no problem. It’s really not spicy though. The flavor is just intensified. Jill

    These were absolutely fantastic! I did tweak the recipe a bit–omitted canola oil, substituted peanut oil for the untoasted sesame oil, added lots of veggies (carrot, onion, red pepper), added about one inch chopped fresh ginger, splash or two of Sriracha and tofu/ground pork. At the end, I stirred in chopped cabbage. Unbelievably easy and unbelievably delicious! Much, much better than take out. I was skeptical but, boy Jill, you made a believer out of me! Thanks so much!

    I got my 6 qt Instant Pot a couple weeks ago and have tried and enjoyed a few of your recipes! I knew this one would be a hit with my kids, so I picked up a pack of Chinese egg noodles. The ones at my store are 10 oz., so I did the calculations to scale the recipe down.

    Somehow, when it was done, the noodles cooked very unevenly. Some were perfect, some were slightly underdone at one end and some were just so undercooked that they weren’t really good to eat. I picked through the noodles and was able to serve about 2/3 to 3/4 of the batch, some of which was a bit overly chewy.

    Any thoughts what went wrong and how to fix for next time? Wondering if I should have cooked longer or added a bit more water? Thanks!

      Hi Leanna~

      The scale down has to take into consideration the water needed to get to pressure, so a scale down of the water is not an exact scale down like you would the other ingredients. The water should not have been scaled down as much. It would have been better to double the recipe, rather than to make a lesser amount, since it such a short cook time.

        Thanks! I’ll chalk this one up to the pressure cooking learning curve!

        Types of noodles have different cooking times, so please adjust the time for whichever brand of noodle you use.

    If I want to only make 8 oz of the noodles, do I cut everything in half including the 3.5 cups of water to cook the pasta?

    Love love these noodles and your web and FB pages. So many good recipes and Great Advice !!! Do you have a “Top Ramen” recipe for the pressure cooker ? My husband is a cancer patient and loves those Instant Ramen or Top Ramen soups. I would prefer to make home made ones to avoid all the chemical additives in the seasonings pack.
    Thank you so much for any advice you can give me.

      I hope your husband will recover quickly! I don’t yet have a recipe up for Ramen, but will work on getting one up soon.

      Take good care of yourself and your husband.
