Raise your hand if the sticky rice you get from Chinese take-out is your jam! I’m over here raising both hands for this Instant Pot Sticky Rice you can make at home!
You guys I could eat sticky rice all day every day! Not minute rice, not regular rice but real sticky rice. The kind I could only get with Chinese take-out till I finally mastered this recipe!
Instant Pot Sticky Rice
I have only ever used Jasmine rice for this recipe so I can’t speak to how well other types of rice work. Jasmine has a sweeter taste and is a stickier grain.
A tad bit of trial and error led me to a few tips:
- Rinse Your Rice
- Start with a cold Instant Pot
- Don’t stir it before you cook it
- Always use LOW PRESSURE
The LOW PRESSURE is key, otherwise, you get the stupid BURN message. It took me a bit to figure that out to be honest, I almost threw my Instant Pot across the kitchen one time!
Seriously just typing this post out has me craving this! I don’t add any salt while it’s cooking because we usually serve it with soy sauce or add salt at the table.
I love to serve this with my County Fair Pork Kabobs, it’s perfect and makes for an easy meal!
