Prep Time
5 minutes
Cook Time
10 minutes
Ingredients
1 cup Calrose rice
1 ¼ cups water
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon oil (optional)
Instructions
1. Rinse the rice: Place the rice in a fine mesh strainer and rinse it under cold running water for about 1 minute, until the water runs clear. This removes the excess starch and helps the rice to cook evenly and to remain fluffy.
2. Combine the ingredients: Place the rinsed rice, water, salt, and oil (if using) in the Instant Pot. Stir to combine.
3. Cook the rice: Close and lock the lid of the Instant Pot. Set the pressure release valve to the "sealing" position. Press the "manual" button and set the cook time to 10 minutes. The Instant Pot will start to build pressure and the cook time will begin to count down.
4. Release the pressure: When the cook time is up, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, release any remaining pressure by moving the pressure release valve to the "venting" position.
5. Serve: Carefully open the lid of the Instant Pot. Fluff the rice with a fork and serve. Enjoy!
Equipment
Instant Pot or other electric pressure cooker
Fine mesh strainer

Notes
This recipe will work in any electric pressure cooker, not just an Instant Pot. If you are using a different model of electric pressure cooker, you may need to adjust the cook time. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions for details.

Recipe Tips
If you want to add flavor to your rice, try adding a few drops of sesame oil or a pinch of dried seaweed to the cooking liquid. You can also add cooked vegetables, such as peas, carrots, or mushrooms, for a more substantial dish. For a vegan version, substitute vegetable broth for the water.
To make this recipe even easier, use pre-washed and pre-cooked Calrose rice. It is available in most Asian markets and some grocery stores. Simply add the pre-cooked rice to the Instant Pot with a bit of water and pressure cook for 1 minute. Fluff and serve!
Finally, if you want to make a larger portion of rice, you can increase the recipe by doubling or tripling the ingredients. Keep in mind that the cook time will remain the same.
