made this recipe a bunch of times for my lunch for the week, first time making it for my non tofu eating family and they loved it! i find rinsing the noodles before hand keeps them from sticking!

Next time, just close the pot and allow the heat that is already in the pot to steam the noodles! No need to press any more buttons :)

I’m a little lost on the steaming of the rice noodles. Do I change the Instant Pot from Saute to Steam at that point? I ended up doing the pressure cooking trick you mentioned, but still had some noodles come out hard and clumped together. Thanks for your clarity!

Hi Jessica, I’m not sure why your noodles were hard? Overcooked if they were in too long, but hard is something I’ve never seen before.

Tried to save them, but they ended up slimy and sticky. Dinner was ruined and nobody would eat it.

Thanks Dixie!

I’d add it when you add the other spices or even right at the end, before serving!

FABULOUS recipe! One question: I see that crushed red pepper is optional, but if I were to add it, when should I put it in? Thank you Becca for another wonderful recipe. :)

Becca, YOU ROCK!!!!! This was the first recipe from your website that I tried. (I bought your book immediately, just based on detail plethora of information; I cannot begin to imagine how much work, time and effort you have done and continue to do for us.) For those who have not purchased
the book, the meal plans alone are worth TWICE the price!)
As for this recipe, it’s devine! At the time I made it, I was pretty new to the Instant Pot. I am just barely a so-so cook, and sometimes, not even that. I have always been intimidated by Pad Thai; perhaps because we have been to over 20 countries, and my husband orders Pad Thai if available, no matter where we are. I went ahead and made it and even Mr. Picky liked it!. I must also confess I am pescetarian, so I used homemade seitan in place of chicken. It was truly easy and delicious. I have made this and other recipes (which I promise to review) and they have all been FABULOUS. Becca, you have given me hope (and dare I say confidence), to try more healthy recipes! I can’t begin to thank you enough.😀

Jack, Thank you so much for bringing this to my attention–I don’t print my own recipes much so I didn’t realize this was an issue! I’ll be working on this today :)
