This Instant Pot Pineapple Fried Rice is a delicious, easy recipe that’s so much healthier than takeout. Great Hawaii-inspired comfort food flavor in this gluten-free lunch or dinner!

I got an Instant Pot for Christmas, and I’ve been playing with it quite a bit. This multi-cooker has several functions, including pressure cooker, slow cooker, rice cooker, and yogurt maker. It makes rice and steel cut oatmeal to perfection in less time than it takes to make them on the stovetop. It also cooks meat really well as the pressure cooker technique helps keep in the moisture.

I’m still experimenting with different recipes, but I’ve already made this Hawaiian fried rice three times. It’s such a delicious combination of flavors. I love having leftovers like this for a quick, hearty lunch while I’m working. With its sweet and savory flavors, I’m not left craving anything after I eat a bowl of this fried rice.

This recipe can be easily made on the stove if you don’t have an Instant Pot. Simply cook the rice according to the package directions and set it aside. Cook the remaining ingredients in a large skillet, then add in the cooked rice and serve.

Here’s a short video showing just how easy this recipe is to make:
