Instant Pot Brown Rice
Description
The recipe calls for rinsing 2 cups of brown rice thoroughly to remove excess starch, then combining it with 2½ cups of water in a 6-quart Instant Pot. The pressure cooker is set to cook on high pressure for 20 minutes, after which it naturally releases pressure over 20 to 30 minutes. This gradual release helps finish the rice cooking evenly without sticking or burning.
After releasing pressure, the rice is fluffed to separate grains and served. The method achieves cooked brown rice that retains some chew and nutty flavor typical of whole grain rice. The measured water ratio and timing are adapted specifically for the Instant Pot.
Brown rice cooked this way suits any dish that pairs well with grains, including stir-fries, curries, or simple vegetable sides. Having a reliable pressure cooker recipe eases the process without requiring constant attention.
Ingredients
- 2 cups brown rice well-rinsed, uncooked
- 2½ cups water
Instructions
