Ingredients:

  • 2 cups long-grain white rice
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1 tsp neutral oil

Instructions:

  1. Place the long-grain white rice in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse under cold water, agitating with your hands, until the water runs completely clear to remove excess surface starch.
  2. Add the rinsed rice and 2 cups of liquid (water or broth) to the Instant Pot inner pot. Add the sea salt and neutral oil.
  3. Stir once to ensure all grains are submerged and no rice is stuck to the sides of the pot above the water line.
  4. Secure the lid and set the steam release valve to the 'Sealing' position. Select 'Pressure Cook' or 'Manual' on High Pressure and set the timer for 3 minutes.
  5. Once the cooking cycle is complete, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes. Do not perform a quick release.
  6. After 10 minutes, release any remaining steam, open the lid, and fluff the rice gently with a silicone spatula or rice paddle.
