Ingredients

1 cup white rice
1 cup water
1 pinch sea salt (optional)
1 tbsp oil (optional)

Instructions

Add all ingredients into the Instant Pot. You can double, triple or quadruple all ingredients in same amounts.
1 cup white rice, 1 cup water, 1 pinch sea salt
Make sure sealing ring is placed properly in lid, add lid, turn shut and turn knob to sealing position.
Cook on high pressure for 3 minutes.
Allow natural pressure release for 10 minutes
Remove all rice from pot immediately to avoid it sticking to the bottom. If you need to keep the rice warm, leave rice in pot after natural pressure release without opening the lid to avoid steam being released. Once the steam is released the rice may dry out causing it to stick to the bottom.

Notes

Adding the oil to the mix helps prevent the rice from sticking to the pot. I personally have never had an issue with sticking so I don't use any oil at all.
Some people like to add a pinch of salt for each cup of rice added to the pot. You can skip the salt if you prefer.
