Equipment
- Instant Pot
Ingredients
- 2 cups uncooked basmati rice 360g
- 2 cups water
- 12 oz. frozen riced cauliflower
- 12 oz. frozen mixed vegetables
- 1/2 cup coconut aminos
- 1 tsp. toasted sesame oil
- 1 tsp. garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp. ground ginger
- 1 egg
- 1/3 cup liquid egg whites
Instructions
- Add the uncooked rice and water to the instant pot. Stir. Place the lid on the instant pot and turn the release valve to sealed. Set on manual or pressure cook for 4 minutes. IMPORTANT: turn off the KEEP WARM button. Once the rice has cooked for 4 minutes let it sit for 8 minutes with the lid still on. At 8 minutes quick release and open the lid.
- While the rice cooks, microwave the cauliflower according to the package instructions to warm. You can steam the frozen vegetables or just simply add them to a warm bowl of water to defrost.
- Add the warmed vegetables to the cooked basmati rice and mix to evenly combine. Once combined push the rice to the side so you have a small opening to the bottom of the instant pot to cook the eggs.
- Turn the instant pot to SAUTE. Spray the opening with nonstick spray or sesame oil and pour in the eggs once the bottom is hot. Scramble with a spatula until cooked through. Once cooked mix in with the rice.
- Add the coconut aminos, ground ginger, garlic powder and sesame oil to the rice and stir to combine.
- Serve and top with sesame seeds, red pepper flakes, sriracha or chopped green onions. Pair with your favorite proteins.
