I made my Mom's pork fried rice recipe. I used the Instant Pot to make the rice. Very good but a lot of work -- her recipe specifies sauteeing the "greens" (cabbage + celery), then remove from skillet and sautee the pork, then remove from skillet and sautee the onions, then remove from skillet and sautee the mushrooms.

Then put it all together in a skillet and heat it up good,

then mix in the rice and heat the mixture if necessary.

I can see now why I haven't made that it decades besides being really good.

Rice -

The rice was cooked in an Instant Pot -- I did brown rice manually (i.e. not using any program button). 15 minutes of cook time plus 5 minutes of sitting while pressure is released naturally followed by quick release. 28 minutes total time from pressing the Start Button to the quick release (the preheat phase was only 8 minutes).

I did 1.25 cups water and 1.25 cups rice (despite my manual's admonition to use a minimum of 1.5 cups of water to pressure cook anything)
