This simple method for pressure cooking brown rice is excellent and fast, if slightly more work than just throwing into the rice cooker.

Calories: 181kcal
Equipment
- 1 Instant Pot or other pressure cooker
Ingredients
- 200 g brown rice
- 250 g water
Instructions
- Do not rinse the rice. Add 200g rice and 250g cold water to the Instant Pot (or other pressure cooker). Add a tiny pinch of salt and mix well.200 g brown rice, 250 g water
- If you do rinse the rice, account for the added water as part of the cold water. To do this, first measure the dry rice out to be 200g and measure the weight of the dry rice and inner pot of the Instant Pot. Remember that. Then rinse the rice and drain well. Add to the inner pot and put on the scale. Add enough water to equal a total of 250g above the weight of the dry rice and the Instant Pot weight. (Alternatively, subtract about 45 grams from the water per cup of rice.)
- Cook on high pressure for 15 minutes. Then let pressure release naturally for 5 min. Then release remaining pressure.
- Check if rice is cooked and moisture has been absorbed. If it has, fluff and serve. If not, let steam release for a bit and it will likely solve itself.
