Instructions

Step 1

Set your Instant Pot to sauté and add in sesame oil. When the oil is hot, add garlic, ginger, and onions. Sauté for about one minute, or until fragrant.

Step 2

Mix in the diced tofu and push all of the contents of the pot to one side of the pot.

Step 3

Add in rice vinegar, coconut aminos or soy sauce, honey, bell peppers, and carrots. Allow to cook for a few minutes, until the veggies become soft.

Step 4

Place the rice noodles (the entire package of them together) on top of the tofu mixture and pour the stock over the noodles.

Step 5

After adding the noodles and stock, close the lid to the pot and allow the noodles to steam for a minute or two. No need to add time to the pot or cook the noodles–they'll cook perfectly with the lid closed using the heat already in the pot. If you feel that the noodles need to cook for longer, or if you're using thicker noodles, go ahead and cook for 0 (zero) minutes.

Step 6

Add chopped basil after noodles are cooked. Serve with cilantro, peanuts, and lime wedges (if desired).
