Ingredients
  

  • 2 tablespoon Sesame Oil
  • 2 cups White Long Grain Rice
  • 2 cups Water
  • 1 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Pepper
  • 1 Spring Onion garnish
  • 1 tablespoon Sesame Seeds garnish

Instructions
 

  • In the Instant Pot insert place 2 cups water and 2 cups rice. The ratio for rice is 1:1.
  • Add in salt, pepper, and sesame oil. Give it a good stir.
  • Place the lid on the Instant Pot and set the valve to a sealed position. Press the pressure cook or manual button and set the timer to 4 minutes.
  • Naturally Release Pressure for 15 minutes
  • Release any remaining pressure and serve.
  • Top your sesame oil rice with sesame seeds and scallions.

Notes

  • Perfect Rice Texture: Rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking to remove excess starch. This helps prevent the rice from becoming overly sticky and ensures a light and fluffy texture.
  • Enhance with Toasted Sesame Seeds: For an extra layer of nutty flavor and visual appeal, toast sesame seeds separately before you sprinkle them over the cooked rice.
  • Slice the Scallions: For the green tops, stack several layers of scallion pieces and make thin, diagonal slices. This adds a visually appealing touch to the dish.
