Ninja Foodi Fried Rice

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.

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.

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. Set to pressure cook on high for 8 minutes followed by a quick release at the end.
3. This will cook the rice and soften veggies. Set pot to saute. Now make a hole in the center of the cooked mixture and crack an egg inside.
4. Scramble the it with a wood spoon using a little oil.
5. If adding leftover chicken toss in some precooked diced rotisserie and stir. Once everything is cooked add your soy sauce and green onions. Serve!
