INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

White rice: 1 cup

Water or bone broth: 1 cup

Salt: pinch (optional)

Butter or oil: 1 teaspoon (optional)

  1. Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs mostly clear.

  2. Add the rice, water (or broth), salt, and butter to the Instant Pot.

  3. Secure the lid and set the valve to Sealing.

  4. Pressure cook on High for 4 minutes.

  5. Allow a natural release for 10 minutes, then carefully release any remaining pressure.

  6. Fluff the rice gently with a fork and serve.

NOTES

  • Use a 1:1 ratio for white rice for best results.

  • Letting it rest during natural release helps prevent mushy rice.

  • Swap water for bone broth to add flavor and nutrients.

  • If rice is slightly wet, let it sit uncovered for a few minutes.

  • Works great as a base for bowls, tacos, and meal prep.
