Equipment

  • 1 x Instant Pot 6-qrt size

Ingredients
 
 

  • 2 cups Japanese sushi rice or Japanese short grain rice
  • 2 cups water

Instructions
 

  • To rinse rice, place the rice in a bowl and cover with water. Gently swirl the rice with your hands to release excess starch. Drain the water and repeat the same 3-4 times until the water becomes cleaner.
  • Drain the water completely using a strainer.
  • Transfer the rice to the Instant Pot. Add 2 cups of water.
  • Close the lid and make sure the vent is in the sealing position. Turn off the keep warm mode. Pressure cook on high for 4 minutes. (It should come to pressure in about 10 minutes)
  • Let the pressure come down naturally for 10 minutes, then quick-release the remaining pressure.
  • Fluff up the rice using a rice paddle or large spoon.

Notes

Leftover rice can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days, covered tightly. Microwave, or cook in a pan (with some oil if necessary) over the stovetop to reheat.
