RICE
Making that perfect loose grain rice is a challenge for many. There are many methods and equipment you can use to achieve it, but these two basic ways are my absolute favorite! I am sharing TWO ways you can make fluffy, soft, and perfectly cooked rice. Continue to read below and let me know which method you love the most. I love hearing from you!
BOTH METHODS HAVE BEEN SHARED AS VIDEOS ON MY INSTAGRAM
Instant Pot Rice
Instant Pot perfected fluffy white rice cooked within minutes. This recipe is great to use for fried rice, biryani, any of your favorite sauteed rice recipe, or a side dish with a main course.
- 1 cup well rinsed white rice
- 1 1/4 cup water
- salt (optional)
-
Place the ingredients in the Instant Pot
-
Close the lid and set the vent to sealing so no air is released during the cooking process.
-
Set the Instant Pot to 5 minutes on high pressure and THAT'S IT!
-
Let the Instant Pot cool completely. Hence, valve will drop.
-
Open the lid slowly and fluff with a fork.
-
ENJOY!
If you are using the cooked rice for a recipe that requires an al-dente texture (fried rice, biryani, etc) then use 1 cup rice, 1 cup water, and set the IP to 4 minutes. Let the IP release air naturally before opening.
