Ingredients

  • 1 cup wild rice
  • 1 ¼ cups water or vegetable broth
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Add the wild rice, water, and salt to the Instant Pot.
  • Secure the lid and set the steam handle to sealing.
  • Cook the rice under high pressure for 23 minutes. Let the Instant Pot sit for 10 more minutes of natural pressure release.
  • Carefully open the steam handle, then remove the lid. Fluff the rice and serve.
  • 1 cup makes about 3 cups of cooked rice.

Notes

  • Total cooking time includes 10 minutes for the Instant Pot to start the cooking process.
  • You can adjust the amount of water or broth depending on how you like your rice. For softer rice, use more liquid; for firmer rice, use less water.
  • Add seasonings or vegetables to the pot before cooking to flavor the rice.
  • Store rice in an airtight container for 1 week or freeze it for several months. Reheat it using a steamer basket for the best results.
