Instant Pot Fried Rice

This fried rice is packed with flavor and can be customized to fit your taste. Plus, the Instant Pot makes it a breeze to prepare! Let’s dive into what you’ll need to get started.

Ingredients

2 cups of cooked rice (day-old rice works best)
1 tablespoon of vegetable oil
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 cup of mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, corn)
2 eggs, beaten
3 tablespoons of soy sauce
1 tablespoon of sesame oil
Green onions, chopped (for garnish)
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

First things first, make sure your rice is ready. The best rice for fried rice is cold leftover rice, so if you’re starting fresh, make sure to cool it down after cooking.
Turn your Instant Pot to the sauté function. Add the vegetable oil and let it heat up. Toss in the garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, but don’t let it burn!
Add in the mixed vegetables and stir them around for a couple of minutes until they’re heated through. Feel free to get creative here, add any other veggies you like!
Push the veggies to the side of the pot and pour the beaten eggs into the empty space. Scramble them up until they’re fully cooked, then mix everything together.
Next, add your cooked rice into the pot. Pour the soy sauce and sesame oil over the top. Mix everything well, ensuring the rice gets coated with those delicious flavors. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Close the lid on your Instant Pot and seal the valve. Set it to pressure cook on high for 3 minutes. Once it’s done, carefully quick-release the pressure.
Give everything a good stir, garnish with green onions, and you’re ready to serve! Enjoy your tasty Instant Pot Fried Rice as a standalone dish or pair it up with your favorite protein. Trust me, once you make this, you’ll want to keep it in your regular meal rotation!

Now get to cooking, and enjoy every bite of this delicious dish!
