This pressure cooker fried rice recipe is great in your Instant Pot or Ninja Foodi. Packed with vegetables it’s a great side dish or a main entree for dinner. Add chicken or beef and it’s a complete meal we love.

Pressure Cooker Fried Rice 3If you love fried rice like we do you will love this pressure cooker fried rice made in just a few minutes in your Instant Pot. Of course there are a variety of ways to make fried rice, and so many things you can add into it. If there’s an ingredient you think is a must please by all means add that too, but here is a great basic fried rice recipe you can make for dinner. It’s on the top of list when it comes to our favorite Instant Pot recipes here on our site. (originally published 6/18, affiliate links present)

  • Here’s what we added into our Instant Pot fried rice recipe.

Egg is a must for us but could be omitted if you have an allergy. Mixed vegetables work well since they are already diced for you and can be thrown in for a quick dinner. Rice is a given.

I like this one for many reasons but I love simple pressure cooker recipes where I do not have to precook the rice beforehand.

 

Pressure Cooker Fried Rice 2

In my opinion it also falls into the cheap Instant Pot recipes I make often because it doesn’t require a lot of ingredients, and almost all of them I have at home.

The only thing I sometimes have to grab at the store are the frozen veggies. Now that we started buying meat in bulk and have a large freezer.

So, I have been keeping that on hand too. Especially when it is chilly outside and the last thing you want to do is head out to the store. Now you can whip this together and have a delicious meal in no time at all.

 

Pressure Cooker Fried Rice 4

This is what you’ll need to make our easy pressure cooker fried rice

  1. Instant Pot – highly recommend this non stick pot
  2. Uncooked fried rice – we like 1 cup of Jasmine rice
  3. Frozen peas and carrots
  4. Soy sauce
  5. Chicken broth or water
  6. Egg
  7. Onion
  8. Green Onion
  9. Olive oil
    1. or vegetable oil could be used

Here are great recipes for other Instant Pot dinners using uncooked rice you might also like:

  • Instant Pot stuffed cabbage casserole
  • Easy Instant Pot stuffed pepper casserole
  • This Instant Pot sweet and sour chicken
  • Our pressure cooker chicken and rice dish is a great one too

Pressure Cooker Chicken and Rice

If making chicken fried rice use precooked rotisserie chicken cubed. I have not made this with brown rice so unsure of the cooking time, it would take longer.

Here are the basic steps for Instant Pot fried rice.

  1. Add your broth, uncooked rice, onion and frozen veggies to the pot. Stir.
  2. Pressure cook on high for 8 minutes followed by a quick release.
  3. This step will cook the rice and soften veggies.
  4. Now you’ll be cooking the egg in the middle of this rice mixture by scrambling the egg with a little oil.
  5. Set pot to saute.
  6. If adding chicken toss in some precooked diced rotisserie and stir.
  7. Once everything is cooked add your soy sauce and green onions. Serve!

Directions work the same for Crockpot Express and Ninja Foodi fried rice too.

    Can you use raw vegetables like celery and carrot as well as the frozen peas?

    Made it with shrimp and it turned out really good. After adding the egg though it quickly started to stick to the bottom of the pan. I had to add a little bit of water to help with that. Maybe a lower temperature would also have helped, thoughts?

      I highly recommend getting a non stick pot! That will eliminate your issues on this one and in the future. Link in post under needed items.

    Question…Do you mean the rice is already fried? I’ve never seen fried rice in the grocery store (although I have to admit I’ve never looked for it.)

      no, it’s either plain, long grain (not minute rice) rice or jasmine or basmati, uncooked. you saute everything to create the “fried” after it pressure cooks. looking forward to trying this in the ip, as it’s always been a favorite quick, delicious dinner on the stovetop.

        p.s. it’s also a good way to use up small amounts of leftover raw veggies – broccoli, zucchini, bell peppers, cauliflower…..yum!

        Great idea

        Thanks. That’s what I figured but I wasn’t sure the way the recipe read.

        07/23/2019 at 4:11 pm

        Yep, do NOT use instant rice for this recipe.

    Good. Used chicken broth and put soy sauce in with the rice and rest of ingredients. Looks like restaurant rice and tastes every bit as good.
