Instant Pot Ramen Recipes

INSTANT POT RAMEN RECIPE

Steps:

• Season the chicken with salt and ground black pepper on both sides of the chicken.
• Turn on the Saute mode on the Instant Pot. As soon as the pot is fully heated and hot, add the oil. Pan sear the chicken until both sides turn brown.
• Add the chicken broth, water, and the white parts of the scallions. Cover the pot and select Manual and set to High pressure for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the ramen eggs. In a small pot, add cold water. The water level must be deep enough to cover all eggs. When the water boils, add the eggs and cook for 7 minutes. When your eggs are done cooking, plunge them into ice water and leave to sit for 5 minutes. Carefully peel off the shells, while the eggs are still in the water. Make sure you remove the membrane covering the egg white. Slice the eggs into halves. Set aside.
• When the Instant Pot beeps, turn to Quick Release. When the valve drops, remove the lid carefully. Discard the white parts of the scallions and scoop out the chicken. Let cool and shred the chicken using two forks.
• Turn to Saute mode and as soon as the soup boils, add the chicken and ramen noodles. Make sure you push the ramen noodles down so they submerge in the soup.
• As soon as the ramen noodles becomes soft (no longer in a block), add the bok choy and soy sauce. Stir the ramen around. Cancel Saute mode and remove the pot. DO NOT OVERCOOK the ramen as the noodles will continue to cook even after you remove the pot.
• Divide the ramen noodles into four bowls. Top with ramen eggs, chopped scallions, sesame seeds (if using), and dashes of chili oil. Serve the ramen immediately, do not keep in the pot as they will turn soggy.

INSTANT POT RAMEN

Steps:

• Go to Soft Boiled Eggs or Instant Pot Soft Boiled Eggs.
• Slice the onion. Slice the mushrooms. Thinly slice the cabbage. Thinly slice the green onions. Thinly slice the garlic. Slice carrots into matchsticks.
• and heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil and 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add the onion and cook 4 minutes until lightly browned on the edges. Add the garlic 30 seconds just browned, stirring constantly. Add the vegetable broth and water, and turn off Saute mode.
• Stir in the mushrooms and carrots, miso paste and mirin. Lock the lid of the Instant Pot. Place the pressure release handle (vent) in the "Sealing" position.
• Press the Pressure Cook button, making sure the "High Pressure" setting is selected, and set the time. Note that it takes about 10 minutes for the pot to "preheat" and come up to pressure before it starts cooking. (During cooking, avoid touching the metal part of the lid.)
• Vent the remaining steam from the Instant Pot by moving the pressure release handle to "Venting", covering your hand with a towel or hot pad. Never put your hands or face near the vent when releasing steam. Open the pressure cooker lid.
• Add the noodles and cook until tender, about 3 minutes. (Or if you're planning to have leftovers or are making in advance for meal prep, cook the noodles on the stovetop according to the package instructions. If you're planning to serve the ramen right away, you can cook the noodles in the pressure cooker: they just soak up a lot of the broth as they sit. )
• Stir in the coconut milk, green onions, cabbage, spinach and cook 1 minute more. Taste and add about 1 tablespoon more miso paste to taste.
• To serve, place the noodles into four bowls. Top with the broth, tofu, peeled soft boiled eggs, and vegetables. Garnish with a splash of soy sauce if desired. Don't allow the noodles to sit in the broth for long, or they will soak it all up! Store leftovers with the broth and noodles in separate containers (to avoid the noodles soaking up all of the broth).

INSTANT POT RAMEN NOODLES

Steps:

• Turn on your sauté setting on. Add the oil to the pot. Then, add the spices to the chicken. Sauté the chicken for 3 minutes on each side. You just want to brown the chicken, not cook it all the way through.
• Turn off the sauté function. Pour 1 cup of chicken broth into the pot and scrape off any browned bits from the bottom of the pot.
• Put your lid on the Instant Pot, turn the valve to sealing. Then, set your cooker to manual pressure for 5-minutes. Then, do a quick release.
• Remove the lid from your Instant Pot and turn the saute back on. Add the other 2 cups of broth and the Ramen noodles. Break apart the noodles and push them under the liquid to allow them to soften in the broth. Your water should boil after a few minutes and the noodles will become soft and easier to work with.
• Once the noodles are soft, add the peas and carrots.
• Add in the soy sauce, sriracha, and brown sugar. Stir to combine. Allow to simmer until sauce has thickened. Make sure to stir constantly so that your noodles don't stick to the bottom of the inner pot.
• Finally, serve in bowls and garnish with chives. The sauce will continue to thicken as it cools.

INSTANT POT RAMEN STIR FRY

Steps:

• Set the Instant Pot on SAUTE and keep it on NORMAL. Add oil.
• In the meantime coat the cubed chicken pieces with 1 tbsp light soy sauce or Tamari.
• When the oil becomes moderately hot gently release the cubed chicken pieces and saute them until opaque from all sides. It should take you about 2 minutes.
• Add the veggies and give everything a good stir.
• CANCEL the SAUTE function. Pour the water or chicken broth and de-glaze the pot very well so that there are absolutely no bits and crumbs stuck at the bottom of the pot.
• Snap the ramen blocks into small pieces (refer the step by step pictures above) discard the flavor packets.
• Add the broken ramen into the Instant Pot and give everything a good mix. Ensure that all the ramen pieces get a good coat of liquid. Do this by gently pressing the ramen with your spatula, turn them and press them. Repeat the process. They do not have to be submerged in the liquid, just a good coat should be fine.
• Close the lid of the Instant Pot. PRESSURE COOK on HIGH for 1 minute.
• When the pressure cooking cycle is over the Instant Pot will begin to beep. Immediately do a QUICK PRESSURE RELEASE (QPR) by moving the valve from the SEALING to the VENTING position. Open the lid carefully.
• Turn off the Instant Pot. Add the soy sauce and the sesame oil and immediately fluff the ramen noodles with the help of a fork. Do not rush do it gently. This will help to de-tangle the noodles and also help to coat the noodles with the sauce & the sesame oil.
• A few ramen noodles might appear a little under-cooked when you open the Instant Pot. Do not worry, they will be fully cooked once you mix the sauce and fluff the noodles. The trapped residual heat will cook them completely. Do not be tempted to pressure cook them again.
• Allow the ramen noodles to rest for 5 mins, this helps the noodles to nicely absorb the sauce. Mix in the chopped green onion.
• Once, you are done fluffing the noodles and mixing in the sauce bring out the steel insert of the instant pot and keep it on the counter top. Or you may also spoon out the cooked ramen into a separate plate. This will prevent the cooked ramen from getting over cooked and mushy from the residual heat of the Instant Pot. The Instant Pot base gradually cools down even after unplugging the machine.

INSTANT POT® TONKOTSU RAMEN BROTH

Steps:

• Place the pork bones into a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook at a rolling boil for 5 minutes. Drain the pork bones into a colander in the sink and rinse well until water against the bones runs clear; this is the most important step of the process.
• Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Warm the olive oil in the pot. Add leeks, onion, and garlic. Saute until onion is clear and has begun to brown, 7 to 10 minutes. Turn Saute mode off.
• Place the cleaned pork bones into the inner pot on top of the onion mixture. Add 4 cups of water. Place the lid onto the Instant Pot®, with the vent set to Sealing. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 45 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
• Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, 10 to 40 minutes, or turn vent to Venting.
• Remove lid and carefully remove the inner pot. Strain the stock in a cheesecloth-lined colander that is placed on top of a large saucepan. Set aside. Remove any remaining meat from bones and set aside.
• Season strained broth with salt and pepper. Add in dashi and remaining 1 cup water. Stir in soy sauce. Bring broth to a slow boil over medium-low heat; turn heat down to a simmer. Scoop out 1/3 cup of the broth into a bowl. Add the miso into the bowl and "soften" the miso with a spoon, dissolving it into the broth. Return this paste to the saucepan. Mix paste into the broth and combine well. Add spinach to the broth. Continue simmering for 10 minutes (do not bring to a boil).
• Meanwhile, bring water to a boil in a pot. Add ramen noodles and cook until soft, about 2 minutes. Drain and rinse and place a good handful into a serving bowl. Pour tonkotsu broth into the bowl using a ladle. Add the pulled meat from the bones atop the noodles; add the spinach.
