Other than spaghetti noodles, fettuccine and linguine noodles are great choices (although not the authentic way of making Teriyaki Noodles).

Can I Make Teriyaki Noodles with Gluten Free Pasta?

Yes, you can make these Instant Pot Teriyaki Noodles with gluten-free pasta. For gluten-free pasta in the pressure cooker, divide the time it says on the box and then subtract 1 minute.
