Fast & Easy Coconut Rice made in the Pressure Cooker or Instant Pot. Perfectly cooked rice with the sweet aroma and subtle flavor of coconut milk. This is a great vegan & gluten free rice side dish to many Asian dishes!
Add the rice, coconut milk, water and salt to the instant pot steel insert.
Set the instant pot to the "Rice" function. This will default to 12 minutes at low pressure. (4 minutes at high pressure will work too)
When the cooking time is done, let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes, then release the pressure manually.
Add garnish of your choice and serve warm.
For Pot-in-Pot Coconut Rice:
Add the rice, coconut milk, water and salt to a steel bowl that will fit in the instant pot insert.
Add 1 cup water to the instant pot steel insert. Place a trivet and the bowl with the rice on top of the trivet.
Set the instant pot on high pressure for 5 minutes. (Note: this cooking time works for steel bowl. Add 3-4 minutes if using an oven-safe glass bowl)
When the cooking time is done, let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes, then release the pressure manually.
Add garnish of your choice and serve warm.
