"This uses jasmine rice and fideo and the Instant Pot for a fast, easy side dish. If you can't find fideo (it's in my "international foods" aisle), you can use broken up vermicelli or angel hair pasta."

Original is 2-4 servings

Step 1

Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Drain and set aside.

Step 2

Turn on the Instant Pot and select the sauté function. Heat the olive oil in the pot.

Step 3

Add the fideo pasta to the pot and sauté for 2-3 minutes until it turns golden brown, stirring frequently. Remove the toasted fideo pasta from the pot and set it aside.

Step 4

In the same pot, add the chopped onion, bell pepper, and minced garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until they become tender.

Step 5

Add the diced tomatoes (with their juices) to the pot and cook for another 2 minutes.

Step 6

Add the jasmine rice, toasted fideo pasta, chicken or vegetable broth, cumin powder, paprika, chili powder (if using), and season with salt and pepper. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
