Instant Pot Long Grain White Rice
Description
This recipe starts by thoroughly rinsing one cup of long grain white rice to clear away starch and prevent clumping. Olive oil at the bottom of the pressure cooker helps keep the grains separate and prevents sticking. Adding 1 and 1/4 cups of water maintains the correct hydration ratio for this rice variety. Using the pressure cooker’s rice setting on low pressure, the rice cooks evenly for 10 minutes.
A quick pressure release after cooking avoids over-softening the grains. The result is fluffy, separate rice grains suitable as a side dish or base for various meals. This technique simplifies cooking rice without active monitoring.
Variations include using broth instead of water to add flavor and substituting other oils if desired. Proper measuring is important to maintain the 1:1.25 rice to liquid ratio for best results. Fluffing the rice before serving preserves its texture and prevents mushiness.
Ingredients
- 1 cup long grain white rice uncooked
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 ¼ cup water
Instructions
- Place the 1 cup rice in a fine mesh strainer and rinse thoroughly for 2+ minutes until all of the water runs clear.
- Drizzle the 1 tbsp olive oil at the bottom of the pressure cooker. Add the rice, then 1 ¼ cups water.
- Use the pressure cooker's rice setting buttons to pressure cook for 10 minutes on low. If the rice setting on your pressure cooker does not allow for this setting, you may need to manually choose it.
- Do a quick release immediately. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Rinsing the rice thoroughly before cooking removes excess starch and helps ensure fluffy, separate grains.
- Olive oil can be replaced with canola, avocado, vegetable oil, or butter to prevent sticking.
- Use a precise 1:1.25 rice to liquid ratio for optimal texture; too much or too little water affects the final result.
- Cooking can be done in any pressure cooker brand following the same time and settings.
- Substituting broth for water adds flavor without changing liquid amounts.
- Fluff rice gently after cooking to avoid mushiness.
