Instant Pot Pork Fried Rice

6/9/2022

Picture
INGREDIENTS
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
4 eggs, beaten
½ cup carrots, diced
1 clove fresh garlic, minced
1/2 cup boneless pork cutlets (or chicken) cut into short, thin slices
1 1/2 cups short grain rice (like Calrose Botan Sushi Rice)
1 1/2 cup chicken broth
1 green onion stem, chopped
1 tablespoon soy sauce (or more if you like)

DIRECTIONS
  1. Turn on the sauté function on the Instant Pot. Heat oil over high heat for 2 minutes until the hot oil sizzles. Add beaten eggs, and stir until scrambled and cooked through, about 1 minute.
  2. Add carrots, garlic, rice, and pork - sauté until evenly mixed and tender, about 2 minutes. The pork doesn't need to be cooked all the way through at this point.
  3. Add broth and stir well until evenly mixed.
  4. Switch to pressure cooking mode on manual high and seal the lid. Let the fried rice pressure cook for 5 minutes. Once the time is up, let the fried rice sit in the pot for another 8-10 minutes. This allows the pressure to release slowly, making rice and pork tender. Quick release the remaining pressure.
  5. Remove the lid and stir in green onions and soy sauce. Serve immediately.

​Roasted Oxtail Bone Broth

HOW TO MAKE ROASTED OXTAIL BONE BROTH - USING THE INSTANT POT
Roast beef bones, quartered onion, and garlic in the oven at 450° for 45 minutes, then place contents in Instant Pot with any other left over veggie scraps. Add 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar to the pot. Cover bones with water. Only add enough water to cover ingredients. Turn to high pressure for 2 hours and natural release. Let cool, strain ingredients, and refrigerate bone broth.

WHAT TO DO WITH THE BONES, MEAT, AND COOKED VEGGIES
I divide the cooked contents into 3 containers. I take out all the bones and meat and set aside until it's cool to handle. Once cooled, I remove all the meat from the bones and use for a recipe later in the week. The veggies I scoop out as much as I can and save for adding as a a soup base for later in the week. What's left is a gorgeous, gelatinous broth that I pour into glass jars for the fridge, and freezer safe containers for the freezer. There will be a lot of fat that hardens at the top of your jars. That's ok, you can either scoop it out and toss it, or you can set it aside and use it as a butter/oil substitute later in the week.
