How To Make Instant Pot Fried Rice
To make your Fried Rice in Instant Pot, start by using a rice strainer to rinse the Jasmine rice until it’s no longer cloudy. Once the water is clear let it drain for 10-15 minutes.Add the rice to the Instant Pot with 2 cups of water. Stir, close the lid and point the valve to Sealed.Select Manual (or Pressure Cook) and cook on High Pressure for 3 mins. When it’s done, allow for a 10 min Natural Pressure Release and then perform a Quick Pressure Release to release the remaining pressure.Open the lid, fluff the rice with a fork and transfer it to a bowl.Without cleaning the insert, turn on Sauté mode, adjust to Medium setting and add in sesame oil. Once the sesame oil begins to sizzle, scrape the bottom of the insert with a heavy spatula or wooden spoon and add in the onion. Sauté the onion in the sesame oil and stir for 1-2 mins. Then add the peas, carrots and corn. Stir to combine it all together.
Add the butter and cook everything together for about another 2 mins.Push the veggies to one side of the pot and add the eggs to the other side.Stir the eggs constantly like you’re making scrambled eggs. Once the eggs begins to cook, mix them in with the veggies until fully cooked. Cancel Sauté mode and set the Instant Pot heat setting to Keep Warm.Add the rice back to the insert with veggies. And add the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame seeds and stir to combine.Turn off the Instant Pot and serve topped with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.
Recipe Tips
Cooking time listed does not include the time for the Instant Pot to come up to pressure or for the pressure to release.Stir the eggs continuously when cooking so they don’t stick to the bottom of the pot. Feel free to swap out the water for broth of your choice.
This hibachi style rice need the rice to be completely cool for making the fried rice. Day old rice is even better. If you’re following a Gluten Free diet, use gluten free Tamari sauce instead of regular soy sauce. You can use frozen or fresh vegetables in this recipe.
Do NOT skip rinsing the rice before cooking, as this removes some of the starch that makes rice sticky. And you don’t want super sticky rice for this Instant Pot Fried Rice recipe. Make a big batch and portion in a mixing bowl or two and store in the refigerator.
