    Expert Tips

    • Feel free to use your favorite vegetables in this recipe. For example, you can add mushrooms, broccoli, or snap peas for additional texture and flavor.
    • If you like spicy food, you can add some red pepper flakes or Sriracha sauce to the dish for a little heat.
    • Adding fresh herbs like cilantro or parsley to the dish just before serving can give it a pop of color and flavor.
    • This recipe makes enough for 4 servings, but you can easily double it to have leftovers for another meal.

    Variations

    • Beef stir fry: Instead of chicken, you can use sliced beef for the protein in the dish. Brown the beef in the Instant Pot before adding the vegetables and noodles.
    • Shrimp stir fry: For a seafood twist, you can use peeled and deveined shrimp instead of chicken.
    • Spicy stir fry: Add a spicy kick to the dish by adding some red pepper flakes, Sriracha sauce, or hot sauce to the chicken and vegetables while sautéing.
    • Teriyaki stir fry: For a sweeter twist, you can make a teriyaki sauce by combining soy sauce, honey, ginger, and garlic in a small bowl. Add the sauce to the chicken and vegetables while sautéing, then add the noodles and broth as directed in the recipe.
    • Thai stir fry: For a Thai-inspired twist, add coconut milk, curry paste, and lime juice to the chicken and vegetables while sautéing. Top with chopped peanuts and fresh cilantro before serving.

    Storing & Freezing

    Storing: Place the stir fry noodles in an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.

    Freezing: Place the stir fry noodles in a freezer safe zip top bag and freeze for up to 2 months. Lay flat to freeze. Once reheated the texture of the noodles and vegetables will be different.
