Ingredients
- 2 cups brown rice rinsed and drained, long grain, uncooked
- 2 1/2 cups water chicken or vegetable broth, or broth
- kosher salt to taste
Instructions
- Add dry rice to Instant Pot or pressure cooker. Sprinkle in kosher salt to taste, then stir in water or broth to combine. Seal the lid and valve and cook 15 minutes on Manual High pressure.
- When cook time is up, allow the pressure to release naturally for 5 minutes, then carefully release the valve and allow the remaining pressure to vent. Press the Cancel button.
- Remove the lid to the Instant Pot and fluff the rice with a fork before serving. Allow the rice to rest if it seems moist - it will dry a bit when exposed to outside air.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months.
