Ingredients

  • 2 cups white rice
  • 2 ½ cups water
  • 1 bay leaf
  • ¼ cup cilantro finely chopped
  • ¼ cup lime juice freshly squeezed or store bought lime juice

Instructions

  • In your Instant Pot, add in 2 cups of white rice, bay leaf, and water.
  • Select “Rice” on your Instant Pot. Make sure your lid is locked, and sealing valve is closed.
  • When the time has completed, allow it to naturally release.
  • Once natural release is finished, open the lid on your Instant Pot. Remove bay leaf, add in your cilantro, and lime juice. Mix. You can also add in a pinch of salt, if you wish.

Notes

  • Rinsing your rice before cooking will leave you with less sticky rice.
  • Toasting the rice in a skillet with a small amount of butter until lightly brown will give a deeper level of flavor. 
  • Garnish with fresh cilantro or diced green onions.
