Instant Pot Rice

Instant Pot Rice 2 cups basmati rice or any white long grain rice water to cover the rice by ½ inch 1 tsp salt 1 tsp vegetable oil Presoak the rice cold water for 15-30 minutes. The longer the better. Then drain and rinse the rice. Add vegetable oil to the bottom of the pot, and spread it so it covers the pot very well. Add the rice, salt, followed by water. Add enough water to cover the rice by ½ inch. Stir everything together quickly, cover the pot with the lid. Press on MANUAL or PRESSURE COOK on high, and set at 4 minutes. Allow the Instant Pot to come to pressure and cook for 4 minutes, then naturally release the steam for 10 minutes. Carefully open the lid, and fluff the rice with a fork and serve. Tips The recommended portion of rice per person is 1/2-1/3 cup (90-60 grams). In our family we usually go for 1/3 cup per person. You can skip the oil, and add a piece of butter instead and mix it with the rice, water, and salt.
