Ingredients

  • 2 cups white or brown rice
  • 2 cups water or chicken broth, or a combination of the two

Instructions

  • Add rice to the Instant Pot and pour water or broth (or mixture of both) over the top.
  • Place the lid on the pot and set timer to 5 minutes on high pressure (rice setting). It will take the IP around 10 minutes to build up pressure before it begins cooking.
  • When cooking time is done, let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes then set to Quick Release. Let the float valve drop and remove the lid.

Notes

  • Sprinkle in some chopped fresh cilantro and mix with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and juice from 1 lime. No need for Chipotle!
  • Serve underneath a heaping scoop of Hoisin Chicken Rice Bowls, Orange Chicken or Mongolian Beef. DELISH!
  • Serve alongside Instant Pot Chicken for the perfect complete meal.
  • Add it to a skillet or wok, along with eggs, peas, carrots and soy sauce to create a delicious fried rice.
  • Go simple and serve with a few pats of butter or olive oil. Stir until the butter has melted.
  • Mix together with salsa, black beans, lime juice and chopped avocado. Add shredded chicken for a meaty dish!
