Notes
- This recipe was tested using long grain white rice. Jasmine and basmati rice also work, but don’t use instant or Minute Rice.
- Rinsing is optional. If you rinse the rice, drain it well before measuring the water.
- Different pressure cooker models and rice brands may produce slightly different results. If the rice is softer than you prefer, reduce the water slightly the next time.
- For more flavor, replace the water with an equal amount of low-sodium chicken broth and adjust the salt as needed.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for 3 months..
