Instructions

Add Wild Rice Blend in Instant Pot: Add 1 cup (210g) Wild Rice Blend and ¼ tsp (1.5g) fine sea salt to your Instant Pot.
Pour in 1½ cup (375ml) unsalted chicken stock. Give it a few swirls and make sure all the wild rice blend is fully submerged in the cooking liquid.
Optional Step: Add in 1 tbsp (14g) unsalted butter or olive oil for extra flavor and smoothness.
Pressure Cook Wild Rice Blend: Close the lid. Turn Venting Knob to Sealing Position. Pressure Cook at High Pressure for 18 minutes, then Natural Release for 15 minutes. When the Floating Valve drops, carefully open the lid.
Fluff and Serve: Fluff wild rice blend with a fork or spoon. Give it a taste to make sure it's seasoned properly. Serve and enjoy~
Amy + Jacky's Tips: For reference, we didn't need to add additional salt for our taste. Keep in mind it shouldn't be overly seasoned because it'll be served with flavorful main dishes or vegetables.

Notes

1. Wild Rice Blend: Different brands have different types of rice and ratios in their blend. So, some brands need more liquid while others need less. Adjust according to your rice blend and preferences.

Lundberg Wild Rice Blend: Long Grain Brown Rice, Sweet Brown Rice, Wild Rice, Whole Grain Wehani Rice, Whole Grain Black Japonica Rice
Floating Leaf Wild Rice Blend: Riceberry Rice, Chusei Calrose Rice, Kow Mun Red Rice, Long Grain Brown Rice, and Wild Rice.

2. Wild Rice Blend Texture: With the rice and liquid ratio above, the rice will come out a bit chewy.

If you prefer softer fluffier rice, add in an extra ¼ cup (63ml) to ½ cup (125ml) of unsalted chicken stock.
Texture Rule: the more liquid you use, the softer the rice

3. Substituting with Salted Ingredients: If you’re substituting with salted chicken stock or salted butter, skip the salt initially, then taste and season at the end.
