Directions:Pressure Cook Rice: Add 2 cups (460g) Jasmine rice + 2 tsp (10ml) peanut oil in a stainless steel bowl. Mix well so all the rice is covered with oil. Pour 1 ¾ cup (438ml) cold water in the rice bowl. Ensure all rice is submerged in water. Add 1 cup (250ml) cold water and steamer rack in Instant Pot. Layer the rice bowl on rack. Pressure cook at High Pressure for 8 minutes, then 10 minutes Natural Release.
While rice is pressure cooking, prepare eggs and slice green onions. In a large mixing bowl, beat 4 eggs, then split half of the beaten eggs into another container.
*Pro Tip: If you are rinsing the rice, ensure the rice is drained really well!
Dry Inner Pot & Make Eggy Rice: Immediately add the piping hot rice in large mixing bowl with 2 beaten eggs. Mix the rice and eggs very gently until all the rice is coated with eggs. Discard the hot water in Instant Pot. Dry inner pot well with a towel.
Cook Scrambled Eggs: Use Instant Pot Saute More function by pressing the "Cancel" button, then "Saute" button twice. When Instant Pot says HOT, pour in 1 tbsp (15ml) peanut oil and wait another minute (ensure inner pot is piping hot, so the eggs won’t stick to the pot). Add in remaining 2 beaten eggs and give it a few quick stirs (ensure the eggs are slightly runny). Set aside the eggs.
Cook Instant Pot Fried Rice: Wait until Instant Pot says HOT again (needs to be piping hot!) Add in remaining 2 tbsp (30ml) peanut oil and wait another minute. Add in cooked rice. Do not stir yet! Wait 1 minute before giving it a quick stir. Repeat this step 5 times. Ensure to wait 1 minute between each quick stir.
*Pro Tip: You should hear some popping sounds and see some steam coming out of the fried rice after the fourth + fifth time. Make sure the stir-frying is done quickly, but gently. You don't want to destroy the individual grains.
Add Ingredients and Season: Add in thawed frozen veggies. Mix and stir fry until veggies are hot (~1 ½ - 2 mins). Sprinkle in 2 tsp (10g) fine salt (taste & adjust). Add in a dash of white pepper and the scrambled eggs. Stir fry until thoroughly mixed. Add in sliced green onions and give it a few more quick stirs.
Woohoo!! Your Instant Pot Fried Rice is done! Taste and add more salt if necessary. |
