konnichiwa it's Nami from just one cookbook, back with another video for you
and today I'm going to share how to cook brown rice in the instant pot
many of you requested this recipe and I hope this tutorial will be useful
i want to remind you that this recipe is for short grain brown rice not long grain or other types
whether brown or white, short grain rice is stickier and it has rounder body shape
and it's best to soak short grain rice priority cooking
I like cooking brown rice in my instant pot as it gives better texture and cooks really fast compared to a rice cooker
now let's get started
scoop 2 rice cooker cups of short-grain brown rice and put in a large bowl
rinse the brown rice a few times
rub the brown rice between hands
and rinse with the water several times
add water to cover the rice and let it soak for 6 to 12 hours (at least 6 hours!)
drain and shake off the water completely
add the drained brown rice in the instant pot or other pressure cooker
add 1/2 tsp salt and 400 ml water and evenly distribute the rice in the pot
close the lid of the instant pot, press 'manual' and set 20 minutes on high pressure
allow the instant pot to release pressure naturally for 10 minutes then "quick release” the pressure
open the lid, it’s a success when you see small holes on the rice surface
fluff the rice using a rice paddle/scooper
serve the brown rice immediately or transfer to an airtight container
