What’s In These Instant Pot Noodles with Peanut Butter?
Onion, Garlic, Carrots, Asparagus, Green Onions, Bell Pepper – I stock up on organic produce with Misfits Market  – they have a fantastic selection of in-season fruits & veggies, healthy pantry items, and great food finds for a fraction of grocery store prices!

- Extra Virgin Olive Oil: I like to use this fruity Zoe olive oil which has a fantastic flavor and deep color- it’s inexpensive & I like to keep a few liters stocked up in my pantry. For the quality of oil you get, it’s an excellent value.
- Long Pasta – I used a whole wheat pasta like this one, 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 Do I Make Low Salt Peanut Noodles with Satay Sauce?

- 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!
