Pressure Cooker Lo Mein

Serves 6 in about 30 minutes. The pot starts with spaghetti noodles, then sesame seeds.

Ingredients

• 1¾ cups chicken broth (2 cups for 8 qt*)
• 8 oz spaghetti noodles, uncooked
• 1 lb chicken tenders (or just use vegetables)
• 1 cup matchstick carrots
• 1 cup sliced mushrooms
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 4 lg cloves garlic, pressed or finely minced
• 1 tablespoon brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon sriracha or sambal oelek chili paste
• 1 tablespoon grated ginger
• 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil
• 1 cup snow peas
• 1 cup broccoli florets, chopped
• ½ red bell pepper, thinly sliced
• Sliced green onions
• Sesame seeds

Method

1. Layer the ingredients as listed, and do not stir until after pressure cooking.
2. Stir in the chicken broth to the stainless liner of the pressure cooker.
3. Break the spaghetti noodles in half and add them to the pot in a random "bird's nest" pattern.
4. Stir in the carrots and mushrooms.
5. Arrange the chicken tenders on top of the noodles.
6. Stir the sauce ingredients together in a small bowl and pour over the chicken.
7. Set the lid on the pot and seal it. Then set the pressure cook time to 5 minutes (High pressure) and start.
8. When the cook time is finished, do a Quick release of the pressure, and when the pin in the lid drops, open the lid.
9. Stir in the remaining vegetables and stir. Then place the lid back on but don't seal it. Leave it to it sit about 5 minutes so the vegetables can heat through, and the noodles will absorb some more of the sauce.
10. Plate garnished with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
