It has just made the whole things so easy and I don’t feel like boiling the pasta and noodles separately anymore. The basic rule is pretty simple, add enough water to just cover the pasta and cook on high pressure, making sure to not over-cook. In my experience 4 minutes for regular pasta and 6 minutes for whole wheat pasta works well. As far as spaghetti is concerned, again anywhere between 4 to 6 minutes on high pressure is what works. The timings change a bit when using rice noodles like vermicelli noodles in this Curry Singapore Noodles recipe. They usually need less pressure cooking time. I made this Vegetarian Singapore Noodles in my IP few weeks back and I am excited to share the recipe with you guys today.
What are Singapore Noodles?
Honestly, I don’t have much information either. But from what I have read, it first started not in Singapore but rather in China (I could be wrong about it though). I first had them in US at PF Chang’s. The one on their menu isn’t vegetarian but you can always modify the sauce etc. to make it vegetarian and that’s what we always did. These noodles are made with thin rice noodles called vermicelli noodles. You can find these noodles in the Asian aisle of your supermarket. Of course, all Asian grocery stores have them or you can find them online. The vermicelli noodles are flavored with curry powder and eggs and meat are often added to it. My version is vegetarian and hence loaded with vegetables.
Vegetarian Singapore Noodles Sauce Ingredients
One of the main ingredients for these noodles is the curry powder. It not only gives so much flavor to the noodles also imparts them a nice yellow color. The rest of the sauce is made of soy sauce, mirin (or you can use Chinese Cooking Wine/Shaoxing Wine), sesame oil, brown sugar and lime juice.
Cooking Singapore Noodles in Instant Pot
So to make sure that these noodles cook perfectly in the Instant Pot here’s what you need to follow! Break the rice vermicelli into thirds before adding it to the pot. Do not add the vermicelli straight from the packet to the pot. Break it down first! If you don’t do that, the vermicelli will not fit in the pot and will overcrowd it and hence the IP will not come to pressure. So, use your kitchen scissors or simply break them into smaller parts using your hands. Second, add enough water. For this recipe, I used 6 oz vermicelli and added 1.5 cups (12 oz) water. In case, you have an 8qt Instant Pot, you might need to add an additional 1/2 to 1 cup water. Cook on high pressure for 2 minutes only. This time is enough for the vermicelli to cook. I added veggies like onion, carrots first while pressure cooking and peppers and snow peas later once the noodles were pressure cooked so that they remain crunchy. Can you make this gluten-free? Yes! Just use tamari in place of regular soy sauce and the dish will be gluten-free.
Method
1- Before you start, break the vermicelli into small parts using a kitchen scissor or you hands. If not, you won’t be able to fit in the noodles into the pot and the IP won’t come to pressure. I broke the noodles into thirds. Set aside. 2- In a bowl or jar, whisk together mirin, toasted sesame oil, soy sauce, brown sugar and juice of 1 lime. Set aside. 3- Press the saute button on the Instant Pot. Once it displays hot, add 2 tablespoons of oil and then add the sliced onion, chopped garlic and chopped ginger. Also add the dried red chilies and saute for 2 minutes. 4- Then add the carrots and stir.
5- Add the prepared sauce. 6- Add water and then the broken rice vermicelli. With a spatula press down the noodles so that they become little moist. 7- Add curry powder and salt. 8- You can stir the noodles gently, just so that top part of the noodles becomes little moist with water.
9- Close the lid and press the manual or pressure cook button. Cook on high pressure for 2 minutes with the pressure valve in the sealing position. Quick release the pressure. 10- Open the pot. Press the saute button and then add the peppers and snow peas along with 1/3 cup (80 ml) additional water. This extra water was needed because all the water dried up during pressure cooking so when we add more veggies at the end and let them simmer for a bit on saute, some more water is needed. 11- Cover the pot with a glass lid and let the veggies cook slightly on saute mode for 2 to 3 minutes. 12- Unplug the pot, add red chili flakes and and stir in cilantro.
Serve Vegetarian Singapore Noodles warm! The noodles really dry up as it cools down. If you want it more saucy, you can increase the amount of water or sauce.
