This Pressure Cooker Egg Fried Rice-ish is super versatile and allows you to use up a ton of ingredients that may be about to go off.
Okay, so it's not quite Egg Fried Rice. Hence calling it Pressure Cooker Egg Fried Rice-ish.
And it's not quite Savoury Rice. Hence not calling it that.
But it can be either or!
Because, as you can see from the photos, I have tried it without adding the egg at the end and it's still delicious.
If you haven't made my Vegetable Stock Paste yet, dishes like this one are perfect for it.

Sauté the ingredients.

Substitutions
You can use any vegetables you want and I encourage you to use anything that you have in the fridge:
- cauliflower florets
- peas
- shredded cabbage
Think of this rice as one of those blended soups where you cook everything you have left in the fridge.
This is the same, just in a rice dish and it's so easy to have the rice and vegetable stock paste ready to pressure cook it.
No eggs? Don't worry, it will be delicious without, more of a yummy savoury rice and who doesn't like that?
Plus, it's super quick.
How to chill the cooked rice to eat over the next few days?
Cool down the rice as soon as you can.
This can be sped up by placing the inner pot in the sink and filling the sink with cold water all around it.
Just don't take your eye off it as you don't want the water going inside the inner pot where your lovely freshly cooked rice is.
Use a wooden spoon to stir the rice regularly. This will help let the steam out faster.
Tip: Set a timer for 10 minutes so that you don't forget it's there and check if it's cooled down enough.
Then into the fridge as soon as you can and preferably within half an hour.
Make sure it's piping hot when you reheat it.
It makes a great desk lunch!
This dish will work whatever pressure cooker you have, whether stove-top or electric. I tend to cook it in an Instant Pot or Ninja Foodi. It works great in both.
