Instant Pot Lemon Rice

Directions

1. 1
   Measure rice, water, and salt in the inner pot of the Instant Pot. Close the lid and turn the pressure valve to “sealing.” Press the “rice” function and cook on medium pressure. The Instant Pot will automatically detect the volume in the pot and cook for the appropriate time.
2. 2
   If your Instant Pot doesn’t have the “rice” function, cook rice according to the following cook times, depending on the type of rice you’re using (See notes below for a list of rice times and making lemon rice without an Instant Pot).
3. 3
   When the rice is done, let the pressure release naturally. This will about 10 minutes, give or take.
4. 4
   When the pressure pin drops, immediately drizzle the lemon juice and lemon zest over the cooked rice and stir it in using a fork instead of a spoon. This will fluff the rice and distribute the lemon flavor throughout the dish. Be sure to stir all the way to the bottom of the pot, to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom.
