Notes
Although this is an Instant Pot recipe, I've run in to too much trouble every time I've tried to cook the eggs along with the rice in the pot. It's almost impossible to avoid them sticking to the bottom, so I've given up on trying and opt for cooking them separately to save myself the hassle.
