This Instant Pot Pad Thai is very simplest, most tasty and full of flavour Instant Pot Pad Thai, made in under half an hour! Easy, Gluten-Free and Quick.
The fish sauce is that which actually adds that depth of flavor that you see in Pad Thai, but it does not overpower the other flavors. The acid in the lime-juice and rice-wine-vinegar help balance out things. Peanut butter and brown sugar make the sauce rich and include only the smallest hint of sweetness.
I really like the peanut sauce in this dish a lot better. It’s filled with these incredible Asian inspired flavors whom I really like. To maintain this gluten free, I utilize Tamari that’s a gluten free soy sauce.
I attempt to locate low sodium, so I have more control over the saltiness of this dish.I also have utilized coconut-aminos that is a gluten-free alternative to soy-sauce. Both are just yummy.
The toppings are what actually put it all together. I used green-onion, fresh-lime wedges, crushed salted peanuts and chopped cilantro. I really like the texture the peanuts increase the dish. It’s perfect with all the sauce and noddles.
The sauce will not have a small bit of heat from the pepper flakes although not too much so that my family and I really like to include sriracha to spice it up a little more.
Why I don’t add any Salt?
I really don’t add any salt to the dish since there are numerous elements which may be quite salty by themselves. I would rather taste it in the finish & add salt if necessary. I never have with this dish since the Tamari, fish-sauce and broth have salt and it ends seasoned quite well for my own taste. I use low sodium Tamari and very low sodium broth because of this.
What Kind of Noodles can I use?
Once I was testing this recipeI tried it using multiple diverse types of rice-noodles. It came out nicely every time, however there are a number of things that I discovered. “Brown-rice-noodles” are a bit more compact and they require only a tiny bit more time to find tender. I prefer plain “White-rice-noodles” which are lean and not overly thick.
Tips for this Instant Pot Pad Thai recipe
- You can soak your noodles in the hot water prior to adding them into the sauce to speed things up even more.
- Scramble some eggs to stir in at the conclusion.
- Stir in mung bean-sprouts to get more veggies.
