How to make instant pot ramen noodles
To your instant pot, add vegetable stock, soy sauce, sriracha, instant ramen noodle, broccoli florets.
Lock and secure the lid the IP and turn the valve to the seal position. Select manual or pressure cook and cook on high pressure for zero minutes.
The IP will beep once the cooking cycle is completed. Carefully do a quick release.
Add the frozen peas to the noodles and stir to combine. Serve immediately into bowls and garnish with sliced jalapeno and chopped green onions
How to store: This is a very quick recipe and ramen are best eaten or served on the day it was cooked. I don’t recommend storing this recipe as the noodles would go soft and mushy if left in the broth.
How to cook soft boiled eggs on the stovetop
Fill a saucepan with water on medium heat and bring to a boil. Carefully lower the eggs into the boiling water and boil for 6 – 8mins.
For hard boiled eggs, see how to make it in an instant pot.

Not sure where these numbers came from, but ramen typically doesn’t come in 350g packages. I followed the quantities in the recipe as written (without looking at the pictures), and 2.5 cups of broth is not nearly enough liquid for that amount of ramen. I had to add a good deal of boiling water to the Instant Pot to soften a substantial amount of dry noodles. All the seasoning tasted great, but it seems like you should only use 100g noodles (the size of two standard packages). It also would have been nice if instructions on soft boiling eggs were included in this recipe, since they were suggested.
Hi Dan, thank you for your feedback, that was an oversight, I used the instant ramen noodles pictured in the recipe and it is 70g. Thank you for bringing my attention to that. Also, you only need 2 1/2 cups of liquid but of course you can add more if you want.
Loved this! So easy and a nice healthy way to doctor up ramen. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you, Tammy. I am glad you enjoyed it.
