Have you been to those restaurants where they cook on a hibachi grill in front of you? The experience is always quite amusing and the food is normally so delicious. The rice is my favorite part of the food (gosh, I love rice, feed me NOW!) So, I’ve created my own hibachi fried rice. Now you can save all the money and make it at home and I assure you, it will taste even better. Trust me! The great thing about this recipe (and pretty much ANY other recipe) is that you can take out anything you don’t like and add some stuff that you do!

Here is the basic list of ingredients you’ll need: You could just use a small bag of frozen mixed vegetables on the vegetables. I personally don’t care for the taste of frozen peas or carrots, however, that would be a little easier!

2 Cups White Rice (Rinsed)
2 Cups Cold water or broth
½ Cup Diced Carrots
½ Cup Corn
½ Cup Peas 
1 small Onion
1 Cup Diced Andouille Sausage (optional)
3 (or more) Eggs (I added 4 as I love extra eggs in mine!)
4 Tbs. Soy Sauce (I used low sodium soy sauce)
2 Tbs. Sesame Oil
Salt and Pepper to taste

Step 1: Rince the rice until the water turns clear. This should take about 1-2 minutes. Once finished add to the Instant Pot. DO NOT skip this step, if you do the rice will come out mushy.

Step 2: Add 2 cups cold water or broth. 

Step 3: “Pressure cook” on high for 3 minutes, allow a 10-minute natural release. Once that’s done, do a quick release. Fluff the rice with a fork and transfer it to a bowl.

Step 4: Add 2 Tbs. Sesame oil to the pot. Add the onion, mixed veggies, and sausage(if you’re using it) Cook until veggies are tender.

Step 5: Move the veggies to one side and add the eggs, stir them constantly until they begin to scramble. Once the eggs begin to cook, mix them in with the veggies until they are done. 

Step 6: Add the rice back in and stir until it’s mixed well.

Step 7: Add the soy sauce and stir until everything is evenly mixed.

Mmmmmm, enjoy! 

Oh, and don’t forget to ADD THE SALT!
