Description

Steamed rice is a staple side dish that goes well with just about any meal. It's a simple dish, but getting the perfect texture and consistency can be challenging. With the help of an Instant Pot, you can achieve perfectly steamed rice every time. This recipe is easy to follow and produces fluffy, delicious rice in just a few simple steps.

Prep Time

Preparation time for this recipe is minimal. You'll need to rinse your rice and allow it to soak for a short period of time, but this should only take about 5 minutes. After that, it's just a matter of measuring out your ingredients and setting your Instant Pot for the appropriate cooking time.

Cook Time

Cooking time for this recipe is just 4 minutes on high pressure. Once the cooking cycle is complete, you'll allow the Instant Pot to naturally release pressure for an additional 10 minutes before opening the lid.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup of long-grain white rice
  • 1 1/4 cups of water
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt (optional)

Equipment

  • Instant Pot
  • Measuring cup
  • Measuring spoons
  • Rice rinser/strainer

Method

  1. Measure out 1 cup of long-grain white rice and rinse it in a rice rinser/strainer until the water runs clear.
  2. Place the rinsed rice in the Instant Pot and add 1 1/4 cups of water. If desired, add 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
  3. Close the lid of the Instant Pot and set the pressure release valve to the sealing position.
  4. Select the "Manual" or "Pressure Cook" setting and set the cooking time to 4 minutes on high pressure.
  5. After the cooking cycle is complete, allow the Instant Pot to naturally release pressure for 10 minutes.
  6. After the 10-minute natural release, carefully turn the pressure release valve to the venting position to release any remaining pressure. Once the pressure has been fully released, you can open the lid.
  7. Fluff the rice with a fork and serve.

Notes

  • This recipe is designed for long-grain white rice. Other types of rice may require different cook times and water ratios.
  • If you're using a different type of rice, consult your Instant Pot manual or do some research to determine the appropriate cooking time and water ratio.
  • If you're cooking rice for a larger group or want to make a larger batch, you can easily double or triple this recipe. Just be sure not to fill your Instant Pot beyond the maximum fill line.
  • If you're short on time or need to free up your Instant Pot for other dishes, you can also cook rice in a rice cooker or on the stovetop. However, using an Instant Pot will produce perfectly steamed rice every time with minimal effort.

Recipe Tips

  • Be sure to rinse your rice thoroughly before cooking to remove excess starch and prevent clumping.
  • Allowing the Instant Pot to naturally release pressure for 10 minutes after the cooking cycle is complete will help ensure that the rice is fully cooked and fluffy.
  • If you prefer your rice to be a bit drier or firmer, you can reduce the amount of water slightly or decrease the cooking time by 1 minute.
  • If you're feeling adventurous, you can also experiment with adding herbs, spices, or other flavorings to the rice before cooking. Just be sure to adjust the water ratio accordingly.
