Instant Pot Chicken Pad Thai

One of our favorite “night out” dinners is always at a local Thai restaurant. Our favorite thing on the menu is a classic Pad Thai. Now that I’ve learned I can make it at home in about 30 minutes, we don’t have to go out to get this one!

This makes about 4 servings.

NOTES I don’t add bean sprouts, but feel free. Also, if you like spice to yours be sure to add a little red pepper flakes!

*If you want to watch the video of this being made, this recipe starts at the 20:39 mark.

Tastes just like going out to a Thai restaurant but for a fraction of the cost!
