Set your Instant Pot/Pressure Cooker to Sauté Mode. Add the olive oil, onions, and garlic and sauté for 5 to 6 minutes until they begin to soften. Add the bell peppers, carrots, asparagus, and green onions to the pot. Stir well.
Add the peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sriracha, and stir well.
Break the noodles in half, and spread them over the vegetables in a fan-like pattern.
Add the water, so it just covers the noodles. Close the lid, and seal. Cook for 4 minutes. Quick release the pressure.
Remove lid, stir the noodles, and add the lime juice. Allow to sit for 5 minutes, as the sauce will thicken. Serve hot, and add cooked protein if desired.
