Is there anything better than being able to dump your ingredients into the Instant Pot and have a healthy dinner ready in about 20 minutes? This busy mama can’t think of much! Except maybe a trip to Mexico, but that might just be the blanket of snow I’m staring at out my window talking to me right now.
I guess I’ll have to settle for an easy and healthy Instant Pot dinner. It’s the little things in life, right?
A few things about this Instant Pot Asian Noodle Bowl recipe. It truly is a “dump and set” dinner. 
How to Make Instant Pot Asian Noodle Bowls
The only prep involved in this recipe is slicing two carrots and cutting your chicken into bite-sized pieces. But guess what? You can ask the butcher at the grocery store to do that! Most will happily help you with that step and boom! you cut your dinner prep time down.
The sauce is an Asian-inspired mix of Tamari soy sauce, (links to products are affiliate links), rice vinegar, chicken broth, almond butter, and sweetened with a little erythritol instead of added sugar. You can use regular sugar or brown sugar if you prefer.
When everything is cooked together in the Instant Pot, the starch from the noodles thicken the sauce naturally. The starch also creates a sticky noodle, which I LOVE. 
By the way, that pretty red Instant Pot up there is my new second Instant Pot! You’d be surprised how handy having a second one is. I love it!!

How many more minutes should I cook if it doesn’t cook all the way through?
Could you add broccoli to this recipe and if so would it increase the cook time? Thanks!
Whoops! Sorry, I didn’t mean to post this twice!
Can you add broccoli to this recipe and if so, does that increase the cook time? I need to get greens into my kiddos 😊 Thanks!!
Yes, you can! It won’t increase the cook time. Broccoli cooks very quickly in the Instant Pot. 🙂
Thank you for your quick response!!
This recipe didn’t cook all the way through for me. I have the exact same instant pot and even increased the time by a minute and there was uncooked chicken and noodles.

How large did you cut your chicken chunks? Likely they were too big. I’m surprised the noodles didn’t cook as they cook so quickly even without a pressure cooker.
Could coconut aminos work instead? My daughter can’t have soy.
Yes!
How much sugar or brown sugar would you add instead of erythritol?
I would do the same amount of regular sugar.
This looks yummy! What brand of brown rice noodles are they?
I use the thai kitchen brand! 🙂
