How to Make It:

1. Rinse the rice:
   Rinse the brown rice in a fine-mesh strainer under cold water. This helps remove excess starch and makes the final texture better.
   
   

2. Add everything to the Instant Pot:
   Add rinsed rice, water (or broth), salt, and oil to the Instant Pot. Give it a little stir.
   
   

3. Pressure cook:

1. Close the lid and set the valve to Sealing.

2. Press Pressure Cook or Manual and set the timer for 22 minutes on High Pressure.

3. Let it rest:
   When the timer beeps, let the pressure naturally release for 10 minutes. Then turn the valve to Venting to release any leftover steam.

4. Fluff and serve:
   Carefully open the lid, fluff the rice with a fork, and serve it up!

• Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze in portions for easy lunches.

• Add a splash of coconut milk or veggie broth when reheating to bring it back to life.

• Want to use this for meal prep? Brown rice holds up great in the fridge and doesn’t get mushy!
