  • 3 cups cooking liquid water or both
  • 1 tsp salt
  • spices optional

Equipment

  • Instant Pot

Method
 

  1. Rinse rice (2 cups, 410 g) well with water using strainer.
  2. Add rice and cooking liquid (3 cups, 710 g) to Instant Pot insert. Mix well and add salt and spices (optional).
  3. Cover with lid and lock in place. Be sure the valve is locked. Set Instant Pot to high pressure for 3 minutes.
  4. After the cook time is complete, allow the pressure to naturally release for 3 minutes. Then manually release by quickly pushing valve open. Take caution when doing this as the steam will be hot.

  6. Fluff the rice with a fork and it is ready to serve. Enjoy in your favorite dishes!

Notes

  • Make sure to rinse and drain your rice well before cooking.
  • Sauté an onion in butter in the Instant Pot before adding in rice and cooking liquid for even more flavor.
  • You can double this recipe and it turns out perfectly! No need to increase the cook time.
