Instant Pot Fried Rice Recipe (Pressure Cooker Fried Rice) (1)

Have you ever made pressure cooker fried rice? If not, here is your chance! Cooking rice in Instant Pot is easy and hassle-free which is exactly what I am after.

How to make pressure cooker fried rice:

Rinse the rice and add it to the inner pot of your pressure cooker. Pour in vegetable stock and stir it around. Just make sure the rice is evenly distributed. Now add diced carrots and close the lid.

Turn the vent to the “SEALING” position and turn it on. Press “manual” and adjust the timer to 3 minutes.

When the pot finishes cooking, I wait 10 minutes and only then I turn the vent to the “VENTING” position. There is a lot of steam coming out when you do the quick release and I personally don’t like it. Safety first! So use the 10-minute natural pressure release.

Now press the “SAUTE” function and stir the rice around. At this stage, it will be sticky but this should change after adding the rest of the ingredients.

So I move the rice to one side and add oil and peas to the empty space. Saute this for a minute before mixing everything together. Now make a space in the middle and add beaten eggs. Stir them into the rice and fry for 2-3 minutes.

Turn off the pot, season and serve.

Good to know before making fried rice in Instant Pot:

  1. The rice will be sticky at first but after sautéing it and adding peas and egg it will change its texture.
  2. If you prefer some crunch to your carrots, don’t cook them with rice but add them before you add peas. However, bear in mind that you will need a longer time to cook them.
  3. Frozen peas need only about 2 minutes in the pot before you add the egg.
  4. Eggs tend to stick to the bottom of the pan so keep stirring so you won’t end up with all of it stuck to your pot.
  5. I made this using the rice program as well. I did not see any difference in the quality of the rice. That is why I prefer the quicker option. The rice program will set your Instant Pot to 12 minutes which I find way too long.
  6. For this recipe, I used long-grain rice. Bear in mind that there are different rice varieties and each of them might need a different cooking time. If you need help with this, check this how to cook rice in instant pot post for more information.

Ingredients

Instructions

  • Add rice and vegetable stock to your instant pot. Mix so the rice is spread around evenly. Throw in diced carrots and close the lid.

  • Instant Pot Settings: Turn the vent to the “SEALING” position, press “MANUAL” and adjust the time to 3 minutes.

  • When the instant pot is finished cooking, press the “CANCEL” button. After 10 minutes, release the pressure manually.

  • Now mix the rice, it will be quite sticky but it should change its texture and lose quite a lot of its stickiness. Move the rice to a side and press the “SAUTE” function. Add oil and frozen peas and saute for about a minute before mixing everything together.

  • Make a well in the middle of the rice and add beaten eggs. Stir the egg into rice and fry everything together for a further 1-2 minutes before turning off the instant pot completely. Taste it and if needed, season with salt and pepper.

Notes

  • This recipe was made in a 6 quart/6 liter instant pot.
  • Remove the inner pot from the instant pot body in order to stop cooking/burning the rice after you are finished.
  • If you would like to use a different type of rice, bear in mind that it might need a different cooking time.
  • The cooking time stated in this recipe is ACTIVE COOKING TIME. This time does not include the time that is needed to bring the pot to pressure nor the time the pot needs to drop the pressure naturally (add an extra 20 minutes to the overall time).

FAQs

How much water do I need for 2 cups of rice for fried rice? ›

Recipe Tips

Combine 4 cups of water and 2 cups of white rice in a saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, then cover and simmer until the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature.

What is the ratio of rice to water in an Instant Pot? ›

No matter what kind of rice I'm cooking, I use the same 1:1 ratio of rice to water or broth. This is probably less water than you're used to using for cooking stovetop rice, and that's because there's very little evaporation when you're using the pressure cooker.

Does fried rice need a lot of oil? ›

Heat 1/2 tablespoon (7ml) vegetable oil in a wok over high heat until smoking. Add half of rice and cook, stirring and tossing, until the rice is pale brown and toasted and has a lightly chewy texture, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl. Repeat with another 1/2 tablespoon oil and remaining rice.

How much liquid do I need for 2 cups of rice? ›

For tender grains of rice that easily separate, such as in a pilaf, use 2 cups of water for every 1 cup of rice. You can also use another liquid like stock in this 2:1 ratio. For slightly chewier, fluffy white rice, use 1 1/2 cups of water for every cup of rice, or a 1.5:1 ratio.

Do you need to soak rice before pressure cooking? ›

Soak rice for 20 minutes.

Whether it's cooked in manual mode or “Rice” mode, when I didn't soak rice, it did not become tender all the way through.

Why is my pressure cooker rice soggy? ›

Too much water or liquid can cause mushy rice. Overcooking can also make the rice mushy. Be sure to pay attention to cook time. Cooking on low pressure instead of high pressure can also result in mushy rice.

How much water do I need for 2 cups of rice absorption? ›

This is a variation of the absorption method. Use a microwave-safe container large enough to hold twice as much rice and water as you start with (or it will boil over). Cover with plastic wrap and use 1 cup rice with 1 1/2 cups water and 12 minutes on HIGH; 2 cups rice needs 3 cups of water and 14 minutes on HIGH.

How much water do I need for 2 cups of rice for sticky rice? ›

How to Make Sticky Rice. Soak rice for 15 minutes prior to cooking it for an additional 10 minutes. This rice requires a ratio of 1:1, meaning 1 cup of rice to every cup of 1 cup of water. It's as easy as that!

How much water for 2 cups dry rice in rice cooker? ›

Our general rec for long-grain white rice is a ratio of 1:1 so for 2 cups of rice, add 2 cups of water. Following our ratio for brown rice (1:2 1/4), you would start with 2 cups of brown rice then add 4 ½ cups of water.

How much less water for fried rice? ›

Add less water than normal: The standard 3:2 ratio of water to rice saturates the grains too much, but ⅓ cup less liquid in the mix results in ideal texture.
