How to Cook Noodles Perfectly.
Just in case if you do not own an Instant Pot, you may cook the noodles in stovetop too. Usually, we cook noodles by bringing in excess water to boil. To this, we add oil and salt. And then we add the noodles and cook for 2 or 3 mins until al dente.
Yet it's best to check the package instructions once before cooking.The amount of water and time may vary depending on the type of noodles and brand.
Ingredients :
Noodles - I am using rice noodles , you may use wheat noodles or spaghetti as you like. However the cooking time differs. If using wheat noodles cook for 8 mins. If using spaghetti cook for 7 mins in high pressure.
Garlic - Use finely sliced garlic , it gives a nice flavor when roasted in oil
Chilli - I prefer a spicier version and hence adding 5 to 6 red chilli. You can increase or decrease as you prefer.
Onion - Use white or red onion and saute well. You can also use the white part of the green onions.
Soy sauce - Gives the noodles a perfect flavor. Use tamari sauce for a gluten free noodles.
Green chili Sauce - I personally like adding chili sauce. You can skip if you don't prefer.
Add on's - Garnish the noodles with toasted white sesame seeds and spring onions (green onions)
Salt and sugar - All the sauces has salt and hence ½ tsp of salt is sufficient for me. You can check and add more if needed. Adding sugar balance the flavors.
