Equipment

  • 1 Instant Pot

Ingredients

  • 2 cups white rice
  • 2 1/2 cups water
  • 1/4 cup cilantro chopped
  • 1/4 cup lime juice

Instructions

  • Rinse the white rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps keep the grains fluffy.
  • Add rice and water to the Instant Pot.
  • Place the lid on, close the sealing valve, and set the pot to the Rice setting for 5 minutes.
  • Let the rice sit for a 10-minute natural release after cooking. Then, carefully use a quick release for any remaining pressure.
  • Remove the lid. Stir in the chopped cilantro and lime juice while the rice is still hot.
  • Mix gently and serve right away.
