Instant Pot Minute Brown Rice
Servings: 4 Servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups instant brown rice unrinsed
- 2 cups water
- ½ teaspoon salt optional
Instructions
- Add the rice, water, and salt (if using) to the stainless steel liner of the Instant Pot.2 cups instant brown rice, 2 cups water, ½ teaspoon salt
- Close the lid and turn the steam release valve to sealing. Press the manual or pressure cook button and set the time to 5 minutes on high pressure.
- When the timer beeps, carefully turn the valve to venting for a quick release. Once the pin drops, open the lid and fluff the rice with a fork.
Notes
- This recipe is for instant or Minute brand brown rice, not regular uncooked brown rice. Regular brown rice needs a longer cook time and a natural release.
- Skip rinsing the rice. Instant rice is processed to absorb liquid quickly, and rinsing can throw off the water ratio.
- Check your Instant Pot's manual for the minimum amount of liquid your model needs to come to pressure. Since this recipe is a 1:1 ratio, that minimum also sets your smallest batch size. Make at least that amount and save any extra cooked rice for later.
- Store leftover rice in the fridge for 3 to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
