    Ninja Foodi Chicken Fried Rice

    Check out our recipe for Ninja Foodi Chicken Fried Rice!

    One of our favorite places to go for dinner is Benihana! Benihana is a Japanese steakhouse. The funny thing is that I never order steak when I go there! Instead, I ALWAYS order the chicken fried rice and the teppanyaki shrimp entree. I could literally eat nothing but the rice....it's my favorite!! This recipe is our take on the rice that you can find at your favorite Japanese steakhouse!! It's made with simple ingredients that you probably already have on hand (except the sesame oil). Our version cooks the rice AT THE SAME TIME as the other ingredients. This is a HUGE timesaver! Traditionally, the rice is cooked separately and then added to the other ingredients at the end.

    Chicken Fried Rice

    This recipe was made using the Ninja® Foodi™ 8-qt. 9-in-1 Deluxe XL Pressure Cooker & Air Fryer but can also be made using the Ninja® Foodi® 14-in-1 8-qt. XL Pressure Cooker Steam Fryer with SmartLid™

    Tips for making Ninja Foodi Chicken Fried Rice

    Should I wash the rice before cooking?

    Technically, yes. You should wash your rice to remove extra starch that is on it. The extra starch tends to make the rice come out a bit gummy with the grains stuck together. However, I will say that I don't usually wash my rice before cooking it. The result of stovetop rice is usually gummy and sticky. But, the rice that is cooked in the Ninja Foodi did not come out sticky at all and I did not wash it.

    Can I freeze rice?

    Absolutely! I would recommend waiting until the rice has cooled completely and then put it in an airtight container or a freezer bag. Do not overfill or stuff the rice in. To keep the rice nice and fluffy, it needs a little room to breathe, so to speak. Be sure to portion the rice out before packaging. If you pack 4 cups of rice together but will only be using 1 cup, it will be quite difficult to separate after it has been frozen. When you are ready to eat the frozen rice, simply put it in the microwave-safe container and add a tablespoon or two of water, cover, and heat for 1 minute. Based on the amount of rice that you are thawing, you may need to add an additional minute or two.

    Can I double the recipe?

    You sure can. Simply double the ingredients. There is no need to increase the pressure cooking time.

    Can I make other types of fried rice in my Ninja Foodi?

    Yes, you can. You can make all types of fried rice in the Ninja Foodi. Feel free to omit the chicken or add in a different protein if you would like. Follow the same instructions for making steak fried rice. If you are making shrimp fried rice, wait to add the shrimp until the very end, after you have pressure cooked the rice. The shrimp will cook just from the steam of the rice.

    Can I use water instead of broth to cook rice in my Ninja Foodi?

    Yes, you can. However, the flavor that the broth adds to the rice is a nice addition. You can substitute any type of broth that you would like.

    Ingredient substitutions and tips for making Ninja Foodi Chicken Fried Rice:


    Olive oil- If you would like, you substitute the Olive oil with vegetable or canola oil.

    Butter (Salted)-
    While we like to use butter, you can use a butter substitute like margarine if you would prefer.

    Chicken breast (boneless, skinless, and cut into bite-sized pieces)-
    Try to make sure that all of the chicken pieces are about the same size. If they are different sizes, they may not cook evenly.

    Eggs (whisked together)-
    Make sure that you whisk the eggs together before adding them to the Ninja Foodi. If you don't, you will end up with more of a fried egg texture when you are looking for a scrambled egg texture.

    Soy sauce- Soy sauce is salty. Since we are using soy sauce, we are not adding additional salt. If you prefer, you can use low sodium soy sauce.

    Sesame Oil-
    A little goes a long way, but it adds a nice flavor! If you don't have any sesame oil on hand, you can omit it.

    Onion
    - White or Yellow-chopped.

    Peas
    - Be sure to use frozen peas and not canned. Canned peas will be very mushy in this recipe.

    Carrots
    - Chopped into small pieces. Fresh or frozen will work.

    Rice
    - White-uncooked-rinsed

    Chicken broth-
    The chicken broth adds a nice flavor but can be substituted with water if needed.

    Green onion
    - Chopped

    Bean Sprouts-
    Canned

    Sesame seeds-
    Can be omitted.
