Ingredients

  • 2 cups brown rice
  • 2 ½ cups chicken stock

Instructions

  • Place rice, stock, and salt in the liner of the instant pot.
  • Place lid on the pot and lock into place. Make sure the valve is set to closed.
  • Turn the pot on HIGH pressure for 22 minutes. (On some models, click to turn off the warming function to start.)
  • Once it comes to pressure, the clock will start for the 22 minutes. When it's done, do a 10 minute natural release. After 10 minutes use a kitchen utensil to open the valve to let any remaining steam out.

Or any combination of the above!
