Ingredients
  

  • ¼ cup sesame oil
  • 1 pound shiitake or baby bella mushrooms sliced
  • 1 large red bell pepper thinly sliced into matchsticks
  • 9 cloves garlic minced or pressed
  • 2½ cups garlic broth or chicken broth
  • 1 pound spaghetti
  • 2 tbsp ¼ stick salted butter
  • 2 tsp dried tarragon
  • ¼ cup oyster sauce
  • ¼ cup hoisin sauce
  • 1 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp ginger minced or pressed
  • 2 tsp chili-garlic sauce or sriracha optional for spice
  • 1 bunch scallions sliced (a handful reserved for garnish)
  • 2 tbsp sesame seeds plus extra for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Sauté Aromatics: Set the Instant Pot to Sauté mode on High. Heat the sesame oil.
  • Cook the Vegetables: Once the oil is hot (after about 3 minutes), add the mushrooms, red bell pepper, and garlic. Sauté for another 3 minutes until softened.
  • Add Broth and Pasta: Pour in the broth, scraping up any browned bits. Break spaghetti in half and place in the pot, submerging it in the liquid but do not stir. Some noodles may stick above the liquid—this is fine. Add butter and tarragon on top.
  • Pressure Cook: Close the lid, set the valve to Sealing, and pressure cook on High for 8 minutes. Perform a Quick Release once cooking is done.
  • Prepare the Sauce: While the pasta is cooking, whisk together oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, ginger, and chili-garlic sauce (if using) in a bowl.
  • Combine & Serve: Open the lid, pour in the sauce, and mix well. Let the noodles sit for 5 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken. Toss in sliced scallions and sesame seeds. Serve warm or enjoy cold!

Notes

Optional Additions: Add sautéed chicken (up to 2 pounds of bite-sized pieces) with the mushrooms and bell peppers for a protein boost.
Spice Levels: Adjust chili-garlic sauce or sriracha based on your heat preference.
Meal Prep Friendly: This dish tastes great even when served cold, making it ideal for leftovers.
