Ingredients
Basmati rice: Use any long grain rice or basmati rice. Frozen vegetables: I used carrots, peas, green beans, and corn. Tamari sauce: This can be substituted with soy sauce or coconut aminos for a gluten-free option. Rice vinegar: Adds a tangy and slightly sweet flavor to the dish. Ginger, garlic, green chilies, and green onions Roasted Sesame seeds and black pepper
Instructions
Rinse the basmati rice in a large bowl and set it aside. Once done, let it naturally release for 10 minutes before manually releasing any remaining pressure using the quick release valve. Open the lid and fluff the rice from the bottom of the pot, with a fork. Serve hot, garnished with roasted sesame seeds and a few chopped green onions. Enjoy your delicious and nutritious Instant Pot vegetable fried rice!

In a separate pan, sauté the vegetables and spices over medium heat until cooked. Then add in the cooked rice and stir until well combined.
