US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Rinse the rice under cold water using a fine-mesh strainer until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch and prevents the rice from being gummy.
In the Instant Pot, add the rinsed rice, 1 cup of water, salt, and oil or butter (if using). Stir gently.
Secure the lid, set the valve to Sealing, and cook on High Pressure for 4 minutes.
Let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes, then carefully turn the valve to Venting to release any remaining pressure.
Open the lid, fluff the rice with a fork, and serve.
