How to make the perfect Chicken fried rice

Ingredients

3-4 tablepsoons vegetable oil

2 large eggs, whisked to combine

1 cup frozen peas

2 boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into bite size chunks

1 cup chopped onion

3 garlic cloves, minced

1 cup white basmati rice, rinsed and drained well

1 cup (33% less sodium) chicken stock refer notes

2 medium carrots, peeled and chopped into 1/4 inch cubes

3 tablepsoons soy sauce (more or less as desired)

1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

Ground black pepper to taste

Method

Set instant pot in saute mode. When hot, add 1-2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Add eggs and scramble, remove on to a plate when done. (You don’t have to continuously stir eggs. Stir ’em every 20 seconds or so, until cooked. This will yield larger pieces of scrambled eggs)

Into the now empty pot (still in saute mode), add frozen peas. Saute, until thawed completely . The moisture from peas will help in loosening the eggs sticking to the bottom of the pan. Try scraping most of it. Transfer peas to the plate.

Add 1-2 tablespoons oil to the now empty instant pot, Add chicken in a single layer, cook undisturbed for 2 minutes. Stir around and then add chopped onions and garlic, cook (stirring occasionally) for another 2-3 minutes.
