Instant Pot Calrose Rice
Description
The recipe involves rinsing and draining Calrose rice to remove surface starch, then adding it to the Instant Pot with measured cold water. Cooking under high pressure for six minutes followed by approximately ten minutes of natural pressure release results in fluffy rice with a slight stickiness characteristic of Calrose. Fluffing the rice after cooking separates the grains for serving.
This rice is adaptable for everyday meals, from simple side dishes to bases for stir-fries, rice bowls, or sushi preparations since Calrose is valued for its medium grain and mild texture. The straightforward instructions focus on achieving consistent texture with minimal hands-on time.
If rinsing the rice, reduce the water slightly to prevent over-soft cooking. The timing can be adjusted depending on personal preference for rice texture.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (235g) Calrose rice medium grain
- 1 cup + 3 tablespoons (295ml) water cold
Instructions
- Optional Rinsing: Gently rinse rice under cold water. Drain well and reduce 2 tablespoons from the water (1 cup + 1 tablespoon in total).
- Pressure Cook Calrose Rice: Place 1 cup (235g) medium grain Calrose rice and 1 cup + 3 tablespoons (295ml) cold water in Instant Pot Pressure Cooker. Close lid and pressure cook at High Pressure using Manual/Pressure Cook button for 6 minutes (Please see experiment chart to find your preferred texture) + Full Natural Release (roughly 10 mins). Open the lid carefully.
- Fluff & Serve: Fluff the Calrose rice with the rice spatula or fork, then serve with your favorite main dish. Enjoy~ :)
Notes
- You can rinse the rice under cold water to reduce starch, then drain well before cooking.
