Description
A simple and quick recipe for cooking long-grain white rice in an Instant Pot.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups long-grain white rice
- 2 cups liquid (water or broth)
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt (optional)
Instructions
- Measure out 2 cups long-grain white rice and place it into a fine mesh colander. Rinse under cold water for 1-2 minutes until the water runs clear. Alternatively, place the rice inside a large bowl, cover with water, strain the water from the rice using a fine mesh strainer, and repeat 2-3 times until the water runs clear.
- Add the rinsed rice to the inner pot, along with 2 cups liquid and ½ teaspoon kosher salt. Use a spoon or spatula to gently push the rice down into the liquid, so that it is fully submerged in the liquid.
- Place the lid on the instant pot and be sure the venting knob is sealed. Set the cooking time by hitting manual or pressure cook and use the +/- buttons to set the cooking time to 3 minutes on High Pressure.
- Once the cooking time has elapsed, allow the pressure to release naturally for at least 10-15 minutes. It is okay to leave the pressure cooker on the keep warm function.
- After the pressure has been released remove the lid from the pressure cooker. Fluff the rice with a fork to separate the grains without breaking them apart. Serve as desired.
Notes
- This recipe can be adjusted for larger batches by maintaining a 1:1 ratio of rice to liquid.
- For extra flavor, consider using broth instead of water.
