After searching for what seems like forever for a tried and true way of making rice, this is it! I found this recipe from Green Healthy Living and it’s foolproof! I use this recipe for all types of rice and it has really upped my chicken fried rice game.

Ingredients

• 1 cup rice (any kind will do-adjust cooking time according to rice type listed in directions below)
• 1 cup water
• 1/2 tsp salt

Directions

1. Rinse rice thoroughly using a fine mesh strainer. Add all ingredients into the Instant Pot. Double, triple or quadruple all ingredients in same amounts if a larger portion is desired.
2. Make sure sealing ring is placed properly in lid, add lid, turn shut and turn knob to sealing position.
3. Cook on high pressure for the number of minutes instructed below depending on the type of rice:
   • White Rice (Basmati or Jasmin): 3 minutes
   • White Sushi Rice: 5 minutes
   • Brown Rice (Basmati): 22 minutes
   • Short Grain Brown Rice: 24 minutes
   • Red Rice: 30 minutes
   • Wild Rice Blend: 28 minutes
   • Wild Rice: 30 minutes
   • Black Pearl Rice: 30 minutes
4. Natural Pressure Release until pin drops. Takes on average 9-12 minutes (max. 18 minutes for 1 cup and max 30 mins for 4 cups).
5. Remove all rice from pot immediately to avoid it sticking to the bottom. If needing to keep warm, leave rice in pot after natural pressure release without opening the lid to avoid steam being released and drying out the rice, which makes it stick to the bottom.
