Notes

Recipe was tested in both 6 quart and 8 quart Instant Pot pressure cookers. 
Use 1 cup water for every 1 cup of rice. Cook time remains the same.
Serve immediately or spoon rice into serving bowl. Don't leave on keep warm setting. This prevents rice from sticking to stainless steel pot and makes clean-up easier!
