Fresh shiitake mushrooms and soy sauce give this ramen a balanced umami, or savory, flavor, without using any meat. For a vegan version, look for egg-free fresh ramen noodles at the Asian market, or replace the noodles with finely shredded Napa cabbage.
Press the Sauté button on the Instant Pot® and heat oil. Add carrots and onions to pot and cook until tender, about 8 minutes.

Press the Cancel button and add broth and tofu to pot. Stir well. Close lid, set steam release to Sealing, press the Manual button, and set time to 6 minutes.
When the timer beeps, quick-release the pressure. Open lid and add ramen noodles. Cook according to package directions. Press the Cancel button and stir in scallions. Serve ramen in bowls with nori and chili oil for garnish.
