Instructions

1
|
Turn your instant pot onto sauté mode. Once your instant pot becomes hot, add 2 tablespoons of oil to your pot. Add your two eggs, whisk well until scrambled. Once scrambled, remove and set aside.
2
|
Add the last 2 tablespoons of oil and add in your minced garlic. Stir a little bit to release the flavor.
3
|
Press cancel on your instant pot and add in your broth. Taking a wooden spoon or strong spatula, scrape the bottom of your instant pot to remove any remaining residue from the egg and garlic. This will prevent the burn notice from turning on your instant pot.
4
|
Add in your chicken and rice. Mix well.
5
|
Close the lid on your instant pot and close the ceiling valve by pushing the valve away from you. Set your instant pot to high-pressure for 4 minutes.
6
|
Once your instant pot is finished cooking, allow it to naturally release for another 10 minutes. After the 10 minutes, manually released by bringing the valve toward you to release the pressure.
7
|
Add to your rice the soy sauce, seasonings, cooked egg, and frozen peas and carrots. Mixed together. Put the lid back on the instant pot and allow the heat from the pot to warm your frozen vegetables and eggs. Allow them to warm for about five minutes.
8
|
Once the vegetables have completely warmed, serve your fried rice with sesame seeds, and green onions

Tips & Tricks (5)

  • Pre-Cook Rice for Perfect Texture 🍚
    Use day-old refrigerated rice or cook rice separately before adding to the Instant Pot—this prevents mushiness and ensures each grain stays distinct and separates beautifully when fried.
  • Sauté Aromatics First for Depth 🧄
    Use the sauté function to bloom garlic in oil for 30 seconds before adding chicken broth and rice—this builds a flavorful foundation that elevates the entire dish.
  • Dice Chicken Uniformly for Even Cooking ✂️
    Cut chicken breast into ½-inch pieces so they cook evenly under pressure and won't create tough chunks or undercooked centers in your finished fried rice.
  • Quick Release and Stir Immediately 💨
    Perform a quick manual release after cooking, then immediately stir the rice vigorously for 1-2 minutes to separate grains and evaporate excess moisture before adding eggs and soy sauce.
  • Add Eggs Last for Silky Scrambles 🥚
    Push rice to the sides of the pot, pour beaten eggs into the center with the residual heat still on, and fold gently after 30 seconds—this creates those coveted silky egg ribbons instead of hard chunks.
