This Instant Pot sushi rice is the perfect foundation for all of your favorite meals, and will be on your table in just 30 minutes! It's a weeknight win!
Servings: 6 people
Equipment
- Instant Pot
Ingredients
- 2 cups sushi rice (see notes)
- 2 cups water
- 1 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Place the rice, water, and salt in the liner of your Instant Pot. Stir together (I like to make sure the rice is fully covered by the water.).
- Close the lid of your Instant Pot and set to sealing.
- Set your Instant Pot to manual/high pressure for 5 minutes (it will take about 10 minutes to come to pressure, 5 minutes to "cook," and 10 minutes to naturally release pressure).
- Once the Instant Pot has naturally released pressure for 10 minutes you can turn the valve to open to release any remaining steam.
- Once the pin drops open the Instant Pot. The rice will be quite compact due to the nature of pressure cooking. Simply fluff it up with a spoon and it's ready to serve!
Notes
This recipe has been tested specifically with sushi rice. I have not experimented (yet!) with other short grain rices like arborio, so substitute at your own "risk."
