Instructions

  1. Pour water first: Add 4 cups water to the Instant Pot.
  2. Layer without stirring: Add spaghetti in a crisscross pattern, then both bags of frozen vegetables, then both drained cans of chicken on top.
  3. Pressure cook: Cook on High Pressure for 4 minutes, then quick release.
  4. Finish: Stir in both peanut sauce containers, then season with soy sauce and sriracha to taste until evenly coated and glossy.
  5. Taste and adjust: Add more soy sauce or sriracha if needed.

Result target: Saucy, not soupy. This bulked-up version keeps the same texture while adding a lot more food.
