Instructions
1. Turn on the Instant Pot select the Sauté mode on normal. When the display reads hot, add the oil.

5. While rice is cooking, heat a frying pan on the stove, and scramble the eggs.
6. Once rice is cooked, let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes, then release remaining pressure.
7. Open the pot, fluff up the rice with a fork and add scrambled eggs and protein of your choice.
8. Turn off the instant pot and let rice cool for the moisture to dry up.
9. Transfer to a serving dish, garnish with spring onions and enjoy!
