Creamy, fluffy Cilantro Lime Rice, fast and easy in the Instant Pot.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups long grain white rice or jasmine rice
  • 1 cup lite coconut milk
  • 1 cup water
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • Zest and juice of 1 lime
  • ½ cup finely chopped cilantro

Instructions

  1. Add rice, coconut milk, water, and salt to the pressure cooker pot; stir.
  2. Secure the lid and turn pressure release knob to a sealed position.  Cook at high pressure for 3 minutes.
  3. When cooking is complete, use a natural release for 10 minutes, then release any remaining pressure.
  4. Fluff rice with a fork.  Add zest and juice of 1 lime and the cilantro.  Use fork to fluff and stir until ingredients are evenly distributed.  Taste and add more lime or salt if desired.
  5. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • The coconut milk gives the rice a dreamy, creamy, richness with a mild hint of coconut flavor.  If you don’t like coconut, just use water instead.
  • Make sure to use LITE coconut milk.  Regular is thicker and may cause the rice to burn on the bottom of the pot.
