    Directions

    Instant Pot Directions

    1. Set a 6-quart Instant Pot to the high sauté setting. Add the green onions, celery, garlic, jalapeño, mushrooms, ginger, Thai green curry paste, cilantro, and basil to the pot and cook for about 3-4 minutes stirring continuously.  Add small amounts of water as needed to prevent sticking.  Add the miso paste, rice, white wine, and edamame beans, and continue stirring for another 3-4 minutes. 
    2. Turn off the saute setting and pour 2 cups of vegetable broth in the pot.  Close the lid and turn the venting knob to the sealing position. Select manual setting and adjust pressure to high, and set time for 6 minutes. When finished cooking, quick release the pressure. 
    3. Stir in the spinach. Serve immediately and garnish with cilantro, lime, and sesame seeds. 

    Stove Top Directions

    1. In a large skillet, add the green onions, celery, garlic, ginger, jalapeño, mushrooms, ginger, Thai green curry paste, cilantro, and basil to the pot and cook for about 3-4 minutes stirring continuously.  Add small amounts of water as needed to prevent sticking.  Add the miso paste, rice, white wine, and edamame beans, and continue stirring for another 3-4 minutes. 
    2. Add 2 1/2 cups of warm vegetable broth to the skillet and bring to a boil.  Reduce the heat to low and cover.  Cook for 20-22 minutes making sure to stir frequently to prevent sticking.  
    3. Stir in the spinach and allow it to wilt for 5 minutes. Serve immediately and garnish with cilantro, lime, and sesame seeds.
