Who doesn’t love rice as a great side dish with chicken or burgers, or just by itself! With the mild but flavorful seasoning, its also great as a base for other recipes such as our Egg Fried Rice.

Equipment

  • 1 Instant Pot

Ingredients

  • 3 cups White rice or any type you prefer
  • 3 cups Chicken stock
  • 2 teaspoons White miso or Hikari Haccho miso
  • 2 teaspoons Minced garlic
  • 2 teaspoons of minced ginger
  • 2 teaspoons MSG
  • 2 teaspoons Better Than Bouillon Garlic flavor or Chicken
  • 1 Tablespoon Dry ranch seasoning
  • Season to taste Cavender’s All Purpose Greek Seasoning when serving
  • Mixed shredded cheese to taste

Instructions

  • Get the instant pot (your best friend!) and add all of the ingredients wet and dry, except for the Greek seasoning and cheese. Stir together with rice spatula.
  • Cover and seal Instant Pot and cook rice according to your instant pot setting. For mine, since we are using white rice, it will cook for 12 minutes and with a fast-release.
  • Once it’s done cooking, unseal and open the lid. While the pot is still hot, add the Greek seasoning and cheese to taste.

Notes

  • We use the leftover of this rice since it’s seasoned for our Egg Fried Rice recipe. 
  • Brown rice or any other type of rice may be used in place of the white rice, but  the cooking time may need to be changed accordingly.
