    Can I use White Rice instead of Brown Rice?

    Sure. For health reasons, I prepared my fried rice with basmati brown rice, however feel free to use white rice. Just make sure you cook the white rice for 5 minutes on High Pressure in the Instant Pot.

    What should I serve with Indo Chinese Fried Rice?

    Any Indo-Chinese dish works with this type of fried rice. I recommend my Chili Tofu and Vegetable Hakka Noodles.

      Another fantastic dish by Nisha!
      The tips about overnight rice / soaking etc all are very helpful.

      I used what I had - corn and string beans - and it still came out excellent!

      Loved the fried rice! It paired nicely with the chili tofu recipe. I loved how brown rice is used so it’s healthier. The flavors were spot on and the recipe was easy to follow! My husband loved it as well!
