Ingredients
- 1 cup 200 gm white rice
- 1 cup 250ml water or chicken/vegetable stock
Optional seasoning -
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- ¼ teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Soak rice in enough water for 5-10 minutes. Rinse rice in wire mess until clear water runs (this step removes excess starch and any dirt from rice).
- Turn on the Instant pot.
- Optional step – press “Saute” button on the pot. Add oil and into it rinsed rice. Stir constantly for 2 to 3 minutes. Toasting rice enhances the nutty flavor. Oil avoids rice from sticking.
- Add liquids over the rice, careful while pouring water or stock. The hot pan inside the Instant pot will make water splutter. Sprinkle salt.
- Quickly stir the rice in water.
- Cover the lid, ensure it’s secure. Turn the valva to “sealing position”.
- Press “Rice” button on the panel. You want the timer to show 12 minutes. If it’s not showing 12 minutes, adjust the timer. Let the Instant pot do it job.
- After the cooking time, allow the Instant pot to sit for 10 minutes for NATURAL RELEASE.
- If there is any press, release it manually by pushing the valve to “release position”.
- 10. Open the lid carefully, beware of hot liquids dripping from the lid.
- 11. Fluff with fork.
- 12. Serve.
