Instant Pot Sushi Rice

You’ve probably heard of the Instant Pot ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

But these simple & easy to follow recipes work with any pressure cooker! All pressure cookers work on the same, simple principle: Steam pressure.

Within the sealed pot, the steam builds up therein to a very high pressure, which helps food cook much faster than other traditional methods, such as with crock pots and or ovens!

Both of these brands sell much smaller packages on amazon, but you’ll pay more per pound for smaller packages.

After making this video I found out that one of the Instant Pot models (LUX), doesn’t have a low pressure setting. My rice preset does 12 min at low pressure and LUX does 10 minutes at high pressure. That’s way too long. If you have the LUX model, I wouldn’t recommend using the rice preset. You can try doing 5 minutes on high pressure, but I can’t guarantee the results.

Scaling the recipe:
===============
You can cook as little as 1 cup and as much as 2.5 cups without sacrificing the quality with no modifications. If cooking more than 2.5 cups, I suggest you set a timer for 20 minutes after the cooking cycle is complete. Then release the remaining pressure manually. Otherwise the rice might be a tad mushy.

Serves 4-6

1.5 cups water (354g)
