Ingredients

  • 1 cup long grain white rice
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Instructions

  • Rinse rice. Place it in a large mixing bowl and cover it with cold water. Gently stir the rice. Pour off the water and repeat this process several times, or until the water runs somewhat clear. Drain off excess water from the rinsed rice before cooking.
  • Add the ingredients to the inner pot of the pressure cooker.
  • Place the cover on and move the steam release valve to the sealing position. Set the Instant Pot to cook on high pressure/manual for 4 minutes  It should take about 7-10 minutes to pressurize before the 4 minutes will start counting down.
  • Release pressure naturally for ten minutes. DO NOT SKIP this step. The rice is continuing to cook and will result in fluffy white rice.
  • Quick pressure release the remaining steam. When pin drops, carefully open the lid and fluff rice with a fork.
  • Serve and enjoy!
