Instant Pot Thai Peanut noodles is my take on a Thai restaurant favorite. In this flavorful dish, plain spaghetti is elevated to a different level with a vibrant peanut sauce. Rice wine vinegar, brown sugar, and chili garlic sauce give the dish its distinct tangy, sweet, spicy flavor. This dish can be made vegetarian by omitting the chicken and substituting fish sauce with soy sauce.
