Arroz basmati na Instant Pot em 15 minutos

Ingredientes

• 2 cups long grain basmati rice (420g)
• 4 tablespoons oil (any kind)
• 2 1/2 cups hot broth or hot water (620 ml)
• 1 teaspoon salt (adjust if using salted broth)

Modo de preparo

1. 1

   Start by washing and rinsing the basmati rice well several times in water until the water is clear. It's important to wash off as much of the starch as possible to ensure separate, fluffy grains of rice. Drain well in a colander and set aside.

2. 2

   In the instant pot on sauté mode, heat up the oil until hot. Add in the rice and carefully stir to coat the grains with the oil for 30 seconds. Be careful not to break the grains. Ensure that no rice is stuck to the bottom of the pan, and add in the broth and salt. Adjust the salt if your broth is salty to begin with. Cover and set to pressure cook on high pressure for 5 minutes.

3. 3

   Once the 5 minutes is done, allow the instant pot to naturally release pressure for 5 minutes. Manually release the pressure after that. Carefully uncover and gently fluff up the rice grains with a spoon. It will feel moist. Place the cover back on halfway and allow it to sit for another 5 minutes so the rice grains dry up.
