Ingredients

Steel-cut oatmeal

  • 1 cup steel-cut oats 160 g
  • 3 cups water 710 ml
  • Banana
  • Berries
  • Nut butter

Mexican rice bowl

  • 2 cups brown rice dry (370 g)
  • 2.5 cups water 600 ml
  • Black beans cooked
  • Salsa
  • Avocado sliced

Asian veggie noodle bowl

Instructions

Steel-cut oatmeal

  • Put steel-cut oats with water in your Instant Pot and manually choose a 3-minute cooking time.
  • While your oats are cooking, wash and chop any fruit you want to top them with, like banana and berries.
  • Once the cooking time is up, let the pressure release naturally before removing the lid. Divide between serving bowls, top with fruit and nut butter.

Mexican rice bowl

  • Put rice and water in your Instant Pot and manually choose a cooking time between 15-20 minutes (depending on how soft you want your rice to be).
  • Once the time has elapsed, let the rice sit for around 5 minutes, then release any remaining pressure manually.
  • Divide rice between serving bowls, top with rinsed beans, sliced avocado and salsa. Season with salt, pepper and lemon juice if wanted.

Asian veggie noodle bowl

  • If you don’t have any pre-cooked noodles on hand, cook them on the stove according to package instructions.
  • Wash and chop any veggies of your choice, making sure they are somewhat equal-sized. Place them into your steamer basket or trivet and pour 1-1.5 cups of water into the Instant Pot.
  • Close the lid and manually choose 1 minute of cooking time. Once this time is up, quickly release the pressure manually.
  • Serve veggies with noodles (alternatively: cooked rice) and spicy peanut butter sauce!

Notes

  • You can even cook your own beans from scratch within around 20-30 minutes in the Instant Pot (depending on how large the beans are) instead of using canned beans.
  • If you get two inner pots and seals, you can store leftovers in one of the pots in your fridge and have another one for cooking!
  • Cooking times can vary, so take note if your food turns out too soft or undercooked and adjust accordingly the next time you make that meal.
