Step 1

Place rice in a fine mesh colander. Rinse rice under cold running water, while stirring the rice around – your goal is to wash away as much of the starchy water as possible, until water emerges mostly clear.

Step 2

Drain rice as thoroughly as possible, so there is no more water dripping from colander (if there is too much excess water, it will affect your water to rice ratio).

Step 3

Add rice to the Instant Pot, along with 1 cup of freshwater and table salt. Close lid tightly, turn vent knob to sealed position, and pressure cook on high for 3 minutes. Allow pressure cooker to do a natural release for 10 minutes and then manually release.

Step 4

Fluff rice and serve while hot. See notes for serving ideas.
