What’s In These Instant Pot Noodles with Peanut Butter?

See the recipe card below for a full list of instructions and ingredient amounts!

Onion, Garlic, Carrots, Asparagus, Green Onions, Bell Pepper

Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Long Pasta – I used a whole wheat pasta, which has higher fiber than normal pastas. Wheat pasta typically has 0 sodium, but some noodle varieties like soba noodles or udon do! Make sure to read your labels.
Peanut Butter: for that creamy classic peanut noodle flavor. Like my peanuts, I only use unsalted peanut butter to keep it low so.
Low Sodium Soy Sauce / or Tamari / or Liquid Aminos – Liquid aminos have a fraction of the sodium, but still a ton of the great flavor of soy sauce.
Unseasoned Rice Vinegar – I like to get unseasoned vinegar to control the amount of sugar and salt in this dish.
Low Sodium Chili Paste – Hot sauces can contain sodium from added salt or preservatives. I like this chili crisp because it has just 75 mg of sodium per serving. A great alternative to sriracha (which has 3x the sodium per same amount of sauce).
Lime Juice

How To Make These Noodles

Cook noodles according to package instructions. Drain, and set aside.
To a large pot, heat the olive oil over low heat. Add the onions and garlic, and sauté for 4-5 minutes until they begin to soften. Add the carrots, bell pepper, and asparagus and sauté for 5 minutes.
Pour in the no sodium vegetable stock, bring to a boil, cover, and cook for 10 minutes until veggies begin to soften.
Remove lid, and add the peanut butter, low sodium soy sauce/aminos (or alternative), rice vinegar, chili crisp, and stir well.
Add the noodles to the pot, and toss well to coat the noodles in the sauce. Squeeze the lime juice, and sprinkle with green onions, and stir one last time.
Serve these peanut noodles by themselves, or with your favorite protein – garnish with extra green onions and enjoy!
