Ingredients
  • 2 cups white basmati rice
  • 3 cups Water
Instructions
  • Combine the rice and water in the inner pot.
  • Lock the lid into place. Select Pressure Cook or Manual; set the pressure to High and the time to 8 minutes. Make sure the steam release knob is in the sealed position. After cooking, quick release the pressure.
  • Unlock and remove the lid. Serve the rice immediately, or place it in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
Notes
  • ADVANCE PREP TIP: Rinse and drain your rice and place it in the Instant Pot® with the water up to 8 hours ahead of time. When you’re ready to start cooking, just plug it in and set the time.
  • MEAL PREP TIP: White rice is incredibly versatile, soaking up the flavors of whatever it is served with. Try it with Green Thai Coconut Curry with Tofu (THE HEALTHY MEAL PREP INSTANT POT® COOKBOOK page 90), Kung Pao Chicken (THE HEALTHY MEAL PREP INSTANT POT® COOKBOOK page 134), and Indian Butter Chicken (THE HEALTHY MEAL PREP INSTANT POT® COOKBOOK page 138). When reheating cooked rice in the microwave or on the stovetop, add about 1 teaspoon of water per serving to keep it moist and prevent it from burning.
