- VARIATIONS: Use pork, beef, or shrimp. (Note: if using shrimp (raw, peeled, and deveined), saute them first. Pressure cook the rice in 1 cup of broth or water instead of the ¾ cup that the recipe calls for. After the rice has been cooked, add shrimp, vegetables, and stir fry sauce). Try different vegetables such as diced zucchini and mushrooms.
- Store-bought stir fry sauce can be substituted for the recipe version.
