Instant Pot Cilantro Lime Rice
Fluffy long grain white rice cooked under pressure with lime juice and finished with fresh cilantro.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cup uncooked long grain white rice rinsed and drained
- 2 cup water
- 1 tbsp lime juice adjust to taste
- 1 tbsp fresh cilantro finely chopped, or more to taste
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil
- ¾ tsp salt adjust to taste
Instructions
Cooking
- Rinse the rice in a fine mesh strainer until the water runs mostly clear, then drain well.
- Add the rice, water, lime juice, vegetable oil, and salt to the Instant Pot and stir.
- 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 release the remaining pressure carefully.
- Fluff the rice with a fork and stir in the chopped cilantro.
Notes
The pot needs a few minutes to come up to pressure before the 4 minute cook time begins. Refrigerate leftovers within one hour and eat within 3 to 4 days. Reheat with a splash of water until steaming hot.
