Pour 2 cups of Uncle Ben's rice into the stainless steel insert of the Ninja Foodi.

Add 2 cups of broth or water to the rice, ensuring it's a one-to-one ratio.

Mix the rice and broth together with a spoon.

Set the Ninja Foodi to high pressure for 9 minutes, ensuring the pressure valve is sealed.

After 9 minutes, let the pressure naturally release for 10 minutes.

While waiting, cut 5 strips of bacon into small pieces.

Cook the bacon in strips until done, then crumble it into smaller pieces once cooled.

After the natural release, open the Ninja Foodi and fluff the rice, ensuring no water is left over.

Switch to the sauté function on high for about 3 minutes.

Chop up a white onion and a green onion using a pulling chop.

Spray some oil into the pot to prevent sticking.

Add the peas and carrots to the pot.

Add the chopped onions to the pot and let them sweat for a couple of minutes, keeping them slightly crunchy.

Add the cooked rice to the pot along with soy sauce to taste, and toss everything together.

Add optional butter, crushed red pepper, and garlic powder to taste, mixing well.

Taste the mixture and adjust seasoning with salt and more garlic powder if needed.

Reduce the sauté heat to less than medium and give it a final mix before serving.
