Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup brown rice Rinse before cooking.
  • 1.25 cups cold tap water Use the correct ratio for best results.
  • 1 pinch salt Optional, for flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Rinse the brown rice under cold water to remove excess starch.
  2. Add the rinsed brown rice and cold tap water to the Instant Pot.
  3. Add a pinch of salt, if desired, and stir the mixture.
Cooking
  1. Seal the Instant Pot lid and select the pressure cook button.
  2. Set the cooking time for 22-24 minutes.
  3. After cooking, let it sit for an additional 10 minutes before opening the lid.
  4. Fluff the rice with a fork.

Notes

Let the rice cool slightly in the pot before serving. For best texture, fluff with a fork instead of a spoon. If the rice seems moist when the pot is opened, let it sit uncovered for a few more minutes.
