How to make Instant Pot Cilantro Coconut Rice is so easy with pressure cooking set on only THREE minutes ! No coconut milk means a lighter rice in this recipe
Place the rinsed Rice into your inner pot in the Instant Pot
Add the boiling Water, Salt and Coconut - stir through and close with lid - turn the steam release handle to Sealing
Set the Instant Pot on Pressure Cooking - three minutes
Once cooked, leave the Instant Pot to naturally release pressure (do not turn the knob to release pressure as the Rice also still cooks during this period)
When the pressure cooking float valve pops up - open the Instant Pot and fluff the Rice using a fork
Stir in the Cilantro just before serving
Notes
Natural release can take from 10 - 25 minutes
I set my Instant Pot on the Keep Warm setting - this will keep the Rice warm without drying out until I am ready to serve (no need to do this if you serve the Rice straight after cooking)
