Instant Pot Basmati Rice

Ingredienti

• 200 g white basmati rice
• 10 fl oz filtered water (plus more for rinsing)
• 1/2 fl oz extra virgin olive oil
• 3 g kosher salt

Preparazione

1. 1

   Use a dry measuring cup (or kitchen scale) to measure the white basmati rice. Place the rice in a strainer and rinse it under running water. Use your hands to move the grains around gently and continue to rinse until the water runs clear.

2. 2

   Transfer the white basmati rice into the Instant Pot and add extra virgin olive oil and salt. Mix with a spoon until coated evenly.

3. 3

   Add the filtered water and even out the rice grains.

4. 4

   Place the lid on the Instant Pot and rotate to lock it in place.

5. 5

   Set the Instant Pot to manual mode, high pressure for 5 minutes, and turn off the warming option.

6. 6

   When it's done cooking, the pressure cooker will beep, then start a timer for 10 minutes to let some pressure release naturally. After 10 minutes, release any extra built-up pressure that hasn’t been released naturally. It's important to remove the rice chamber from the Instant Pot after releasing the pressure so that it doesn't dry out.

7. 7

   Slide open the lid and use a rice paddle to gently fluff up the rice. Serve immediately.
