Ingredients

2 cups water
2 cups rice
2 tablespoons fresh ginger grated
1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt

Instructions

Rinse the rice in water and drain.
Add water, rice, ginger, toasted sesame oil and salt into Instant Pot.
Lock on lid, set valve to sealing. Select High Pressure and timer for 3 minutes.
When timer goes off, let pressure release naturally for 10 minutes. Then, turn the venting valve to venting.
When pressure has released and floating valve has dropped, remove the lid and fluff the rice.

Notes

Store your ginger in the freezer and use a microplane grater to zest it right into the pan.

Use Toasted Sesame Oil not plain sesame oil, you want that extra flavor.

Rice - any kind of white rice will work, we especially like the floral flavors of Jasmine Rice.
