Garlic Noodles Ingredients

  • Noodles: I am using spaghetti noodles in this recipe. You can use any noodles of your choice.
  • Oil: use olive oil or butter. Use butter for the best flavor.
  • Garlic: I have used fresh minced garlic.
  • Soy sauce: Try to use low-sodium soy sauce and if you are looking for gluten-free, use Tamari or also Coconut Aminos to replace the soy sauce.
  • Hot sauce: Use schezwan sauce, sriracha, or red chili sauce for the heat.
  • Vinegar: use white vinegar or apple cider vinegar. If you don't have both, use lime juice.
  • Vegetable broth (or water): always use vegetable broth for the best noodles flavor. However, use water if you don't have it.
  • Sweetener: Use either brown sugar, maple syrup, or honey as a sweetener.
  • Garnish: green onions and sesame seeds.

How to Make Garlic Noodles in Instant Pot

Firstly, turn on SAUTE mode on Instant Pot. Once hot, add 1 tablespoon olive oil, minced garlic, and saute for a few seconds.

Close the lid on the pot. Cook at High Pressure for 5 Minutes for Aldente.

Once the pot beeps, Wait for 2-3 minutes, and then Quick Pressure Release the remaining pressure manually.

Stir and separate the noodles using tongs, if you see any clumps. There is a possibility of some water being left in the pot. But they will get absorbed as you stir the noodles.

Stovetop Pot Method

  • Heat the olive oil in a skillet or wok on medium-low, add the garlic and saute for a few seconds.
  • Add the cooked spaghetti, soy sauce, schezwan sauce, rice vinegar, vegetarian oyster sauce, brown sugar, and toss well.
  • Sprinkle sliced green spring onions and sesame seeds just before serving.

What to serve with Garlic Noodles?

Garlic Noodles can generally be eaten on their own since they are flavorful. But they also taste great with Indo-Chinese side dishes like :

Gobi Manchurian

Sweet Corn Soup

Lemon Coriander Soup

Fried rice

Variations

  1. Add a few more teaspoons of schezwan sauce or red chili sauce (sriracha) for a spicier version.
  2. You can also use coconut oil or sesame oil for this recipe. These noodles taste great if you make them with butter.
  3. You can also add veggies of your choice, like bell pepper or mushrooms. You may also add fried tofu and broccoli for extra protein.
  4. This recipe was created using Organic durum wheat Spaghetti. You can also use any brand. Adjust or experiment with water and time for other types of noodles.

Tips to Make the Best Garlic Noodles

  1. Do not overcook noodles, as they will turn mushy and soft
  2. Make sure to place the broken spaghetti noodles in cris crossway to avoid the noodles clumping after pressure cooking.
  3. Try to use low-sodium soy sauce, and if you are looking for gluten-free, use Tamari or Coconut Aminos to replace the soy sauce, and it’s the best!
