  • Cook the rice on high pressure for 4 minutes. Let the pressure release naturally for 8 minutes and then quick release the rest of the pressure. Be sure the ‘keep warm’ setting is off to prevent burning or the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pot.

Tips & Notes

  • Do not add oil to the sticky rice. It will prevent the rice from sticking.
  • If the rice still has a bite to it after releasing the pressure, quickly cover the rice and let it sit for 2-3 minutes or until ready.
