Notes/Ideas
- Serve with steamed or roasted broccoli. To steadiness the savory flavors, you may as well serve with recent fruit like pineapple, watermelon, or citrus slices.
- Attempt including in a package deal of frozen blended veggies, sliced water chestnuts or mushrooms.
- To make this gluten-free use gluten-free soy sauce and don’t add the chow mein noodles.
- I used my 6 quart Immediate Pot*. You can even make this in a 3 or 8 quart pot.
- This recipe can simply be halved. Halve all components and maintain the cooking time the identical. Likewise, this recipe can simply be doubled. Double all of the components and maintain the cooking time the identical.
- Retailer leftovers in an hermetic container* within the fridge for as much as 5 days or within the freezer for as much as 3 months. The chow mein noodles will turn into soggy so it’s possible you’ll wish to take away them earlier than refrigerating or freezing after which add recent noodles when serving.
- Parboiled rice (transformed rice) has some benefits over common white rice. It’s much less sticky and extra separate when cooked, and it retains extra of the vitamins discovered within the rice bran layer as a result of the method doesn’t take away the bran as with white rice. It additionally has a barely nuttier taste in comparison with common white rice. I like to purchase parboiled rice within the bulk part at Winco. I like utilizing parboiled rice within the Immediate Pot.
