How to Make Brown Rice in Instant Pot

long grain brown rice

🥗Healthier: quinoa

💰Cheaper: white rice

Quinoa adds protein and fiber, while white rice is often less expensive.

Rinse brown jasmine rice under cold water about three times, sloshing the rice around in the water and discarding the water each time.

Measure 2 cups of brown jasmine rice using a standard dry measuring cup.

Measure 2 and a half cups of water using the same cup.

Add about an eighth of a teaspoon of salt to the water (optional).

Mix the rice and water together in the Instant Pot.

Close the lid of the Instant Pot and turn the valve to sealing.

Pressure cook on high for 20 minutes.

Wait for the Instant Pot to come up to pressure, which takes about 15 minutes.

After 20 minutes, allow for a natural release of pressure for about 10 to 15 minutes.

Check that the float valve has dropped down before opening the lid.

Fluff the rice with a fork and serve.
