Ingredients

  • 10 large cloves Garlic (4-5 Tbsp) pressed or very finely minced
  • 2 Tablespoons Unsalted Butter
  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 2 ¼ cups Water or Low Sodium Chicken Broth, divided
  • 8 oz Uncooked Spaghetti Noodles, broken in half

Sauce

  • 1 Tablespoon Oyster Sauce
  • 1 Tablespoon Low Sodium Soy Sauce
  • 2 teaspoons Toasted Sesame Oil
  • ¾ teaspoon Powdered Ginger
  • ¼ teaspoon Salt, or more to taste
  • teaspoon Cayenne Pepper, or more to taste

Instructions

  • Turn on the Sauté setting to the lowest heat. When hot, add the butter and oil.
  • Add the garlic and stir it frequently.
  • While the garlic is cooking, mix together the sauce ingredients.
  • Sauté the garlic until fragrant, but not burnt.
  • Add the sauce and stir.
  • Add 1 ¼ cups of the water/broth and stir. Turn off the sauté setting.
  • Add the spaghetti noodles in a random bird nest pattern so fewer will stick together.
  • Add the remaining cup of water/broth over the pasta.
  • Close the lid and set the steam release knob to the Sealing position.
  • Press the Pressure Cook/Manual button or dial, then the +/- button or dial to select 6 minutes. High Pressure. The pot will take a few minutes to come to pressure.
  • When the cook cycle has finished, turn off the pot and let it sit undisturbed for 3 minutes (3 minute natural release). Then turn the steam release knob to the Venting position to release the remaining steam/pressure.
  • When the pin in the lid drops back down, open the lid. Stir the noodles very well.
  • Place the lid back on, but don't seal the vent. Let the pasta sit for about 5 minutes, then open the lid and stir again. Separate any stuck together noodles.
  • Serve immediately.
