Equipment

  • Instant Pot or comparable pressure cooker
  • Measuring cup

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup red rice
  • 1.5 cups water

Instructions
 

  • Wash the red rice thoroughly in cold water. This removes excess starch that causes claggy rice.
  • Drain the rice and put it in the Instant Pot / pressure cooker.
  • Add the water and gently stir. Ensure all rice grains are sitting under the water.
  • Put the lid on the Instant Pot and set it to pressure cook mode, high, for 20 minutes.
  • After the cooking time leave the rice to naturally release for ten minutes.
  • After 10 minutes if there is still pressure carefully open the valve to release. Open the lid and use a spoon to stir the rice.
  • If the rice still has moisture, let it sit for five minutes to steam off.
