Instant Pot Directions

Dice your veggies, ham and bacon. Scramble your eggs and set aside. 4 eggs

Sauté your chopped bacon until the edges start to brown. Add in sausage, vegetables and garlic. Stir togethers and cook for 1-2 minutes. 8 slices turkey bacon, ¾ cups chicken sausage, ½ cup red onion, 2 cups bell pepper, 1 tbsp garlic, 1 cup peas and carrots
Remove the contents of the pot and place them in a bowl. Set aside.
Pour 2.5 cups of water into the pot, then add the rice. 2½ cups brown rice
Close the lid of your pot and turn your pressure release valve to Sealing. Use the Pressure Cook or Manual button and set the time to 20 minutes on high pressure.
Note: Turn off your "keep warm" function by pressing the button. This helps the rice not stick to the bottom of your pot.
While your rice is cooking, mix together tamari/soy sauce, coconut crystals (optional) and dry mustard. ¼ cup low sodium tamari, 3 tbsp coconut sugar, ¼ tsp dry mustard
After the cooking time is finished, allow your rice to naturally release pressure for at least 10 minutes. This allows the rice to cook naturally. After 10 minutes, manually flip the value to Venting to release the pressure on your pot.
When the rice is finished cooking, add the rest of your cooked ingredients to the rice and then top with the tamari/mustard sauce. Gently stir to combine.
Top with green onions and serve immediately. ½ cup green onions

Notes

This is a very versatile recipe: you can change the vegetables to your preference (bok choy or broccoli florets would be delicious!), you can also adjust the flavor profile by adding one teaspoon of sesame oil to the tamari mixture.
