Instant Pot Sticky Rice (Vietnamese Xôi)

Sticky Rice is a Thai and Lao culinary staple, and it's highly appreciated in Vietnam as well. My Instant Pot Sticky Rice recipe is not only straightforward but also guarantees perfect texture, preventing any mushiness or sogginess. Moreover, it substantially shortens the cooking time compared to the traditional method.
