Servings: 4 servings
Equipment
- 1 Instant Pot
- 1 Fine mesh strainer
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups Brown Basmati Rice
- 1 ¾ cup Water
- ¼ tsp Salt
Instructions
- Soak brown rice for 10 minutes. Then drain and rinse rice thoroughly in a fine mesh strainer and add to Instant pot along with 1 ¾ cup of fresh water and ¼ tsp 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 12 minute natural release, then manually release the remaining pressure. Once pressure valve has dropped, open the lid and fluff rice gently with a fork or rice paddle. Press "cancel" on the Instant Pot so it won't emit more heat.
- 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.
