Equipment

  • 1 Instant Pot

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups Brown Rice (I prefer long grain)
  • 1 ¾ cup Water
  • ¼-½ tsp Salt

Instructions

  • Soak brown rice for 15 minutes. Then drain and rinse thoroughly in a fine mesh strainer and add to Instant pot along with 1 ¾ cup of fresh water and salt. Feel free to double this recipe if more rice is desired.
  • Seal lid and set Instant Pot to cook at High Pressure for 22 minutes. Allow a 10 minute release, then manually release pressure valve. Let the rice rest another 10 minutes before fluffing.
  • Enjoy rice immediately or refrigerate in a well-sealing container for up to 5 days.

Notes

Don't forget to refrigerate leftover rice promptly! Rice (as well as beans) are prone to bacteria that causes food-borne illness if left out for over two hours.
