Notes

Adjust the water: Cooking noodles or pasta in the Instant Pot requires less water and time than the open pot. Divide the time written on the packet by half to make them in the Instant pot.

Modify the ingredients: A lot of vegetables and protein can be added to the recipe. Include fresh vegetables like cauliflower, asparagus, spinach, etc; frozen bags of vegetables like stir fry vegetables or peas or any kind of firm or fried tofu. They all work well with the noodles.

Making the noodles Vegan or gluten-free: Use maple syrup instead of honey for a Vegan version. However, the wheat noodles are not gluten-free so the recipe by itself is Vegetarian and not gluten-free. Swap for a gluten-free noodle option to make it free of gluten.

Scaling the recipe: The recipe can easily be halved or doubled. Scaling up or down involves changing the ingredients but not the time. The Instant Pot will come to pressure according to the contents in it so do not modify it.

Using teriyaki sauce for other recipes: The teriyaki sauce can be prepared and cooked on medium flame till thick. Then it is great to use for other purposes as a dipping sauce for gyoza, over tofu or paneer or to make some Teriyaki rice or salad.

Instant Pot: Remember to always account for the time needed for the Instant Pot to come to pressure. The cook time listed does not account for this.
