Most Fried Rice is made with the Rice precooked the day before or even slightly before the other ingredients are added in. This method can be a bit tricky so, you can pre make your rice if you want.
NOTE: there are a few ways to do this, but for me, using the Rice setting is by far the easiest. 20 min start to finish. Rice setting, factory preset is 12 min on LOW pressure. This is my first choice.
[Also to reduce or eliminate the possibility of scorching, you can pre-soak the raw Rice in water for 30 min and drain really well before adding it to the rest of the ingredients, but on top, and then for this method, set the pot time to low pressure “0” minutes and then turn it OFF or unplug it and allow it to NPR for 10 min. Or if you use Rice mode…. (which is LOW pressure) and do the 0/10 …]
We like more Meat and Veggies in ours than the kind you get in restaurants.
Add precooked, chopped Pork or Chicken in place of the BBQ Pork in the Recipe at the end if you like. You can also cook both Raw meats in the Pot along with it all at the same time, just put it on top without stirring, but you will have to cut down on the liquid if you do this method. You can also use frozen mixed Veggies if you would rather.
3 slices bacon cut in 1/2” pieces.
1 cup chopped bbq pork cut up like 1/4”or 1/3“ pieces. Remember you can add your cooked Pork or Chicken at the end.
1/2 Onion chopped.
2 cloves Garlic.
1 Carrot chopped (or 1 c frozen).
1 ear of Corn sliced from the Cob (or 1 c frozen).
1 c frozen peas
3 green Onions/Scallions (chopped and divided..2 for cooking and 1 for garnish).
2-3 Eggs beaten.
2 Tbsp Sesame Oil divided (1 for the Eggs, and 1 for the Rice).
1 Tbsp plus 1 tsp Sweet Ginger Garlic Seasoning
Sesame Seeds for garnish.
2 c Rice. (0 Basmati, Jasmin, or Jasmati is really good)
1 heaping Tbsp Low Sodium, (Costco’s ) Better than Bullion Chicken
1 3/4 c water.
1 Tbsp Oyster Sauce.
1/4 tsp Salt.
1/8 tsp Pepper
Turn the pot to Sauté, More.
I do the Eggs separately in a small frying pan so I can add Sesame Oil in the pan and Simply Asia Sweet Ginger Garlic Mix to the beaten Eggs but, if your determined to do the eggs in the IP, then do it first and quickly so it doesn’t burn.
If your cooking the Eggs in the Pot, then preheat it to Hot first. Add 1 Tbsp of Sesame Oil and heat for a few seconds before adding the Simply Asia Sweet Ginger and Garlic seasoning, (optional) and the Eggs. Scrambling the Eggs, then remove them from the Pot and set aside. (I just pull the Pot to remove things from the bottom.)
Quickly saute the Bacon but do not crisp. Drain all but a couple Tbsp of fat in the Pot. Add the other Tbsp of Sesame Oil and then the Rice, stir it around constantly in the pot for a minute to coat it all with the fat, just until it turns kind of chalky looking color wise. Watch so it doesnt doesn’t burn.
Add Onion and Garlic. Sauté quickly till barely soft, and somewhat translucent. then turn the Pot OFF, and deglaze it all at once with the liquid. Make absolute sure to get all of the brown off the bottom so the heat sensor will work right, otherwise you may have the OVHT or BURN notice and you could end up with scortched and uncooked glop!
Once the bottom of the Pot is clean, quickly add all the other ingredients on top, DO NOT STIR , then turn the Pot back to ON. Press Rice and walk away. Rice will be done in 20+ min depending on how much is in there.
Rice setting is set to Low Pressure, and is preset for 12 min, so 7-10 min to pressure up and 12 min to cook with QR.=20 minutes ish.
Open the Pot and add your precooked chopped Pork or Chicken. Stir, and let set for a few min to heat the meat through.
I serve, and garnish with chopped scallions and sesame seeds.
