Directions
- Add the rice to the pressure cooker with 2 cups of the water.
- Stir, close the lid, and point the valve to "Sealed."
- Select "Manual" and cook on high for 3 minutes.

- Sauté the onions in the oil and stir for 1-2 minutes.
- Add the peas and carrots mix and the corn, stirring to combine them all together.
- Add the butter and cook for 2 minutes.
- Push the veggies to one side of the pot and add the eggs to the other side.
- Stir the eggs constantly to scramble them.
- Once the eggs begin to cook, mix them in with the veggies until fully cooked.
- Cancel "Sauté" mode and set the heat setting to "Keep Warm."
- Add the rice back to the insert with the veggies-egg mixture.
- Add the soy sauce, the rice vinegar, and the sesame seeds, stirring to combine.
- Turn off the pressure cooker and serve the fried rice topped with more of the sesame seeds and the chopped green onions.
