Ingredients
-
30 oz rice (basmati, jasmine, long-grain, or whatever you have on hand) – rinsed
-
8 cups water
-
2 tbsp salt
-
1 tbsp garlic powder
-
50 g butter
Instructions
Rinse 30 oz of rice under cold water until the water runs mostly clear. This removes excess starch and keeps the rice fluffy instead of sticky.
Add the rinsed rice, 8 cups of water, and the rest of the ingredients to your Instant Pot. Gently stir to combine.
Close the lid, set the valve to “sealing,” and pressure cook on high for 6 minutes. Make sure “keep warm” is turned off so it doesn’t overcook.
As soon as the cooking time is up, carefully perform an instant release so the rice doesn’t overcook. Fluff and mix it up with a wooden spoon.
Serve immediately as a side, or store in the fridge to use as a base for meals throughout the week.
