INSTANT POT WHITE RICE

Steps:

• Place rice in a fine mesh strainer and rinse under cool water. Drain rice and transfer to Instant Pot.
• Add water to the pot, and salt, if desired. Stir.
• Close the Instant Pot lid and turn the steam release valve to the sealing position.
• Use the Pressure Cook or Manual function to cook at high pressure for 4 minutes. The Instant Pot will take about 10 minutes to reach pressure and then the cook time will begin counting down.

• Carefully turn the steam release valve to the venting position to quick release any remaining pressure. When the pin drops down, open the Instant Pot lid.
• Fluff rice with a fork and serve.

HOW TO MAKE JAPANESE RICE IN AN INSTANT POT

Steps:

• Before You Start: One US cup (240 ml, 200 g) of uncooked rice yields 2⅓ US cups (420 g) of cooked rice, enough for roughly 2 servings. One US cup of cooked rice weighs 6.3 oz or 180 g. A typical Japanese rice bowl holds 150 g of steamed rice and an onigiri rice ball weighs about 110 g.
• Measure: Overfill a 1 US cup measure with uncooked short-grain white rice and level it off. Put the rice in a large bowl. Repeat until you have the measured amount of rice needed.
