Notes

Tips for a Perfect Ramen Noodle Chicken Soup
  1. You don't have to stick to a certain pasta shape. Use any shape of your choice (penne, macaroni, etc.), as long as you make sure you adjust the cooking time according to what's recommended on the packaging.
  2. Keep in mind that the total cooking time does not include the time it takes the instant pot to get to pressure. The whole deal may take you longer than expected.
  3. If you are looking for a certain extra flavor, then play around with the spices. Add garlic, ginger, bay leaves, cloves, star anise, or whatever you think would enhance the overall flavor of your soup.
