Cooking rice in Instant Pot

The trick with cooking rice in an Instant Pot is to really know the rice you are using. What works for one person will not work for you as each type and company of rice works differently. I have seen recipes that cook rice in the Instant Pot for 5 minutes but honestly, if I did that, I’d end up with mush. For the rice that we have used, 1 minute on low pressure is more than enough to get soft and fluffy rice. The only way for you to work out what is best for you is to experiment. Start on less time and work your way. If your rice does end up getting too soft, don’t let it go to waste, but make an easy rice pudding recipe. We try to go easy on too many rice recipes day-to-day to watch our health, but we do love to indulge sometimes!

Ingredients for Thai Coconut and Pineapple Fried Rice

  1. Rice – we have used a good quality basmati rice.
  2. Coconut Milk – adding a little when cooking the rice first will make the rice so creamy and fluffy! Alternatively, add only in the later steps when coconut milk is required.
  3. Coconut Oil– you may use any other flavourless oil.
  4. Onion – finely chopped
  5. Garlic and ginger
  6. Mix vegetables – we have used frozen mixed vegetables (carrots, peas and green beans) for ease but you can also use other vegetables.
  7. Soy sauce – use tamari to make this rice gluten-free.
  8. Thai curry paste – use either red or green. Keeping homemade thai paste in a jar in the fridge comes in handy!
  9. Spring onion – keep the white part and green part separate as they go into the recipe at different stages.
  10. Coriander – fresh coriander leaves for garnishing
  11. Lime – use fresh lime juice or bottled
  12. Black pepper powder
  13. Red chilli flakes – can be left out if you find them too spicy

Tips:

Make sure the rice you cook that has every grain separated. For fried rice, you must cool the rice completely. Even batter if you store cooked rice it in the fridge and later coo fried rice.

How to store Thai Fried Rice

Fridge – rice spoils easily so as soon as it has cooled, place in a Tupperware and store in the fridge. It will stay fresh for up to 2 days. Freezer – you can freeze this rice. Store in a freezer-friendly container and freeze for up to 4-6 weeks. Once defrosted, reheat thoroughly. You may find that the rice and vegetables may lose their texture a little.
