Ingredients

White Rice

  • 2 cups white rice
  • 2 cups water
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Brown Rice

  • 2 cups brown rice
  • 2¼ cups water
  • ½ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  • Rinse the rice under cold water in a mesh strainer until the water runs clear.
  • Add all ingredients into the pressure cooker and stir.
  • In manual mode, set the timer. 5 minutes for white rice and 15 minutes for brown rice. The Instant Pot will take about 10 minutes to pressurize, then the actual cooking will begin. 
  • Once the timer goes off, let it naturally release for about 5 minutes (just leave it alone for this time). Then, carefully move the vent open to quick release. Let the steam come out if there is any, then open the lid.
  • Fluff with a fork!
