Nguyên liệu

1 cup white long grain rice (I use Basmati or Jasmine rice)

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon kosher salt (use less if your liquid/broth contains salt)

Hướng dẫn

GET INSTANT POT READY: Spray bottom of the pot to avoid sticking and for easier clean up. Press SAUTE function. It's ready when it says "hot"

PREPARE RICE: Place rice in strainer, rinse under running cold water until water is clear, 1-2 minutes. Drain.

PREPARE VEGGIES: Chop/dice veggies into 1/2 inch/1.28 cm pieces. Don't make them too big or they won't get soft enough - unless you like a bit of crunch. If too small, they may disintegrate. I find 1/4-1/2 inch (0.64-1.28 cm) works well but no need to obsess!. You should have a total of about 4-5 cups/560-700 grams of chopped vegetables.

SAUTE VEGGIES: Add oil, then veggies. Saute for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add all seasonings and saute another 1 minute. Press CANCEL.

ADD LIQUID AND RICE. Stir. Note 3,

PRESSURE COOK: Close lid and set valve to 'SEALING', then set on HIGH PRESSURE OR MANUAL button for 5 minutes (use + or - buttons). The Instant Pot will take about 5 minutes to come to pressure before it starts the 5 minute cooking process. When finished (it will beep), do a 5 minute natural pressure release. Then do a quick release for the remaining pressure by turning to valve to VENT.When button drops, carefully open lid, Stir in chopped parsley and other optional add-ins. Tip: for added richness, stir in a tablespoon of butter.

OPTIONAL TOPPING: While rice and veggies are cooking, combine chopped tomatoes, a drizzle of olive oil, a pinch of salt and pepper, green onions and a squeeze of lemon juice (if desired) in a small bowl. Serve tomato salad over cooked rice.
