Notes
• If you like your rice softer, you may need to add a bit more broth or water before cooking in order to get it to your desired texture after cooking.• If using frozen vegetables like peas or corn, do not add until after the pressure cooking, as they will become mushy.• Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 4 days. Reheat on the stovetop or microwave when ready to eat.
