Instant Pot Sushi Rice
Hi Chefs, Myka here 👋
Sushi rice is a handy thing to have at home. Whether you want to do a sushi night for dinner with the family, you want to enjoy it alongside a stir-fry, or you have another creative use for it, sushi rice can be a useful (and tasty) dish to have around. And this Instant Pot Sushi Rice recipe is low-touch, and leaves you with perfectly prepared sushi rice in less than 30 minutes.
To start, rinse your Japanese short grain white rice under cool water to remove the excess starch. Drain well, and place the rice into the pot of your pressure cooker. Add water, and close the lid, before cooking on high pressure for 10 minutes. Then, allow for at least 10 minutes of natural release.
While the rice cooks, take a small bowl, and combine white wine vinegar, rice vinegar, and olive oil. Also add cane sugar and salt, mixing until dissolved.
When the rice is finished, fluff with a fork and transfer to a bowl, before pouring the vinegar mixture over the rice. Gently combine, and enjoy!
Happy cooking!
