Add Pad Thai to the list of foods you don’t need to order in! Instead, make our easy Better-Than-Takeout Pad Thai Fried Rice in your Instant Pot. We’re using our RIO Widebase for extra capacity. 


Ingredients:
2 cups jasmine rice rinsed
2 cups chicken or garlic broth (e.g., Garlic Better Than Bouillon)
1⁄3 cup fresh tarragon or Thai basil leaves plus more for topping
3 large eggs lightly beaten
1 cup pad thai sauce I like the Pantai brand
Optional Toppings
1 (14-ounce) can bean sprouts drained (you can use fresh as well)
8 ounces extra firm tofu diced
1⁄2 cup crushed peanuts
1 cup shredded carrots
1 bunch sliced scallions
Lime wedges

Instructions:

1.Add the rice and broth to the Instant Pot and stir. Top with the tarragon or basil. Secure the lid, move the valve to the sealing position, and hit Manual or Pressure Cook on High Pressure for 3 Minutes. When done, allow a 10-Minute natural release followed by a quick release.

2.Hit Sauté and Adjust to the More or High setting. Add the eggs and stir until combined and cooked into the rice, about 2 Minutes.

3.Pour the pad thai sauce over the rice and mix until combined. Add any optional toppings of your choice and mix into the rice as well before serving and garnishing as desired.
