I wish I knew how easy this was so long ago! Whether you prefer instant rice, Instant Pot rice, or to boil rice this recipe is as easy as it is delicious!
Ingredients
1 cup rice, prepared per package directions (white, brown, jasmine, or basmati work great)
Juice of 1/2 lime
1/4 cup finely chopped cilantro
1 tsp salt (if none was used during rice preparation)
2 tsp olive oil
Directions
Cook rice per package directions.
Add remaining ingredients to rice and stir well to incorporate.
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
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.
Make sure sealing ring is placed properly in lid, add lid, turn shut and turn knob to sealing position.
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
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).
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.
