3 Simple Ingredients 

Rice – This recipe calls for long grain white rice, but feel free to use basmati or jasmine rice without affecting the cook time. Brown rice, or wild rice both need a longer cook time, and the ratio of water to rice is different as well, so don’t substitute these.

Broth – Chicken or vegetable broth adds extra flavor to the rice, but it’s perfectly acceptable to use plain water and salt, instead. Rice will have a mild flavor that pairs well with Instant Pot chana masala, peanut chicken, or even just some simple salmon.

Extras – Feel free to add extra herbs or seasonings to the mix. Finely minced fresh garlic and a tablespoon or two of butter will give the rice a delicious savory flavor.

Tips & Tricks

  • Don’t skip the rinsing step! It is important to rinse rice before cooking, both to remove any excess starch and residue and to improve the texture of the finished product!
  • Save leftover rice for 3-5 days in a tightly covered container so that it doesn’t absorb any odors or flavors from the refrigerator.
  • Leftover rice can be frozen to add to soup or chile, or mixed with ground beef and then stuff into or serve it alongside some Air Fryer roasted bell peppers.
