Instructions

  • Add the oil to the instant pot and set to saute. When the oil is hot add the chicken and roughly brown.
  • Add the garlic and ginger to the instant pot.
  • Add the soy sauce, lime juice, rice vinegar, fish sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, sriracha and peanut butter. Stir well to combine.
  • Break the spaghetti in half and layer over the sauce. Push the spaghetti down into the sauce.
  • Add the chicken stock and then put the lid on the instant pot. Set on high pressure for 4 minutes
  • Leave under pressure for a further 4 minutes and then perform a quick release. Remove the lid and tease apart any spaghetti that is stuck together (I used a fork).

  • Remove the lid and stir thoroughly. Serve topped with chopped cilantro and peanuts.

Notes

I made the video for this recipe during the coronavirus outbreak and couldn't source any spring (green) onions. I used a small red onion instead and this worked really well.
