We won’t lie, our favorite part at the hibachi table is the delicious fried rice and we love being able to enjoy it at home. Unfortunately, you end up using multiple pots and pans and the process ends up being long and tedious. Now, we’re in luck thanks to the Instant Pot! This one pot fried rice is a super hit with our entire family and we’re sure your family will love it too! You can't go wrong with the ease and versatility of this dish.
