How ’bout a fantastic recipe for pressure cooker
I LOVE this recipe for fried rice! And making it in the pressure cooker makes it even easier.
I gotta say, I’ve only had my pressure cooker
If you’re new to pressure cooking, you’re gonna need some great recipes to get you started and today’s post is perfect for a beginner. Even if you’re a veteran, this recipe is one you’ll want to try because it’s so delicious. I’ve been making this version of fried rice on the stove for years now and I’m super happy it’s adapted for the pressure cooker
Here’s what you’ll need… Onion, garlic, butter (or oil), an egg, soy sauce, chicken stock, rice
Btw, I’m using the Power Pressure Cooker XL but this recipe works with any electric pressure cooker.
To get started, you’ll need to heat the unit up. Just press one of the options. Place your butter, onion and garlic in the pot and saute for about a minute.
Add the egg and cook another minute. Be sure to stir it around because it will stick to the bottom of the pot a bit. Stir in the rest of the ingredients once the egg is mostly cooked.
Place the lid on the unit and set the steam release valve to closed. Select the setting for rice/risotto and adjust the timer to cook for 10 minutes. After the timer has counted down to zero and the rice is done, carefully turn the steam valve to release.
Once the steam is finished releasing, remove the lid and stir in your frozen veggies. I like peas in my fried rice. The residual heat from the rice is just enough to warm the veggies through.
That’s all there is to it friends. Easy, right? I should warn you though, this stuff is addicting. Really.
I do hope you’ll give this one a try next time you’re looking for something fun and yummy to make with your pressure cooker. It’s definitely a keeper!

Why do you call this fried rice? It is not fried at all.
Trick question? Or were you sending a sideways compliment because compliments are nice. Or are you a English teacher? Because I ain’t in school anymore, honey. Thanks for stopping by. I hope you enjoy my FREE recipes. 😘
Haha… heads up, we loooove this ‘fried rice 😊
Ive been searching for a go to recipe for fried rice and made a few but they all seem to make something that should be simple WAY too complicated with WAY too complicated ingredients. This recipe is awesome! Quick and simple and tastes great…I had some leftover brisket and tossed that in as well! The only thing I will do differently next time is half the recipe if its just for me as it made a big serving.
And for the record….you fry the egg. Hence the fried rice. (Wtf really cares anyway???)
You go girl! 😘
Just bought a pressure cooker and am looking forward to trying this recipe! Have you made this with chicken? I am wondering if the chicken needs to be browned/partially cooked first.
I have a video on my YouTube channel with the chicken. Check it out. Make it your own, chicka. You got this 😉
Can you use long grain rice?
Yes
Do you have to use basmati rice or is can I substitute long grain? Trying to avoid a trip to the store 😜
I just made this recipe and followed the instructions and I opened it up after 10 minutes in the press use cooker and it’s full of water. I used brown basmati rice.
Brown rice requires more time. And perhaps allow a natural release.
I feel really stupid for asking this, but do I need to have prepared steamed rice for this recipe before I make it or does it somehow cook with the chicken stock instead of water…? I’m new to pressure cookers.
The pressure cooker will cook the rice.
I make this ALL THE TIME, we all love it. Any recommendations when you double it with the cook time?
I would add 2 minutes.
I love this recipe, and it works every time even when I *improvise *, haha! Thanks for a fantastic recipe!!
When do you add the rice?
