Notes

For best results, use leftover rice that has been refrigerated overnight. This will ensure that the rice is firm and doesn't get too mushy in the Instant Pot. If you want to add more vegetables to this recipe, feel free to experiment with different combinations. Broccoli, bell peppers, and mushrooms would all be great additions.
