Instant Pot Sausage and Kale Noodle Bowls
Servings: 6
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 lb Italian Sausage bulk not in casings mild or hot
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- 2 tsp ginger grated
- 1 tsp. cumin
- 8 cups chicken broth
- 2 tsp fish sauce
- 4 Tbsp soy sauce
- 8 oz linguine dry
- 1 bunch kale coarsely chopped
- 1 bunch green onions sliced
- 1 Tbsp sriracha sauce
Instructions
- Press Sauté and let your pot begin heating up while you prep your ingredients. Once your pot says Hot, you can add the oil and Italian sausage. Begin browning the meat in the pot making sure you break it up well as it cooks.
- When your sausage is good and broken up, add ginger and cumin, and continue mixing and breaking up the meat with a spatula.
- Feel free to drain any grease that has accumulated before proceeding. Then deglaze your pot with broth making sure you scrape the bottom of the pot with the spatula.
- Then add your fish sauce and soy sauce.
- Break linguine noodles in half and scatter in the pot. Since this is a soup, they will be completely submerged.
- Press Cancel to stop Sauté mode. Then press Pressure cook or Manual and set your pot to cook for 1 minute. (Will this cook my pasta? Yes. Your pot has a lot of liquid in it and is going take a while to come to a full boil and pressurize. During that time, your pasta is also cooking.)
- After the 1 minute pressure cooking time is done, do a QR or a controlled release as needed.
- Carefully open the pot and give the contents a stir. Now add your green onions and kale. Stir them into the liquid and make sure they are submerged well. Put the lid back on your pot and let everything sit for 3-5 minutes.
- Serve your noodle bowls with sriracha, toasted sesame seeds and maybe even a soft-boiled egg!
Notes
Tips: Try using Pho broth instead of chicken broth. It adds quite a bit of flavor. We get Pho broth good and gather brand right at Target. Also, to cut down on the fat we often use turkey Italian sausage. It's so good. I have also made this with some precooked chicken sausage. Then you can totally skip the Saute mode and make the recipe even faster. I sliced them into about 1/4 - 1/2 inch pieces.
