And since we’ll be toasting the rice in the Instant Pot for a couple of moments first, we really get that nice extra flavor boost! I like to use basmati or jasmine rice, as they both are traditionally more aromatic than regular long grain white rice. Our ingredient list is simple and adds great flavor to ordinary rice. It’s rice that’s been “jazzed” up to be more than just plain rice. In the simplest terms, rice pilaf is rice which is cooked with broth and included spices, vegetables, meat, or any combination there of. We love rice pilaf! It’s so savory and fragrant, it really shouldn’t be considered a “side dish,” it should be classified as “the dish that makes all the dishes it appears with on a plate exclaim, ‘boo, ya!’” What is Rice Pilaf? It’s the perfect dish to accompany just about any meal. Made with sautéed onions, garlic, basmati rice and just a few simple ingredients, all the magic takes place right in your favorite pressure cooker. (My cooker only has one setting, so if yours has multiple, set it for white rice.This easy rice pilaf recipe is ready to serve as your next superstar Instant Pot recipe. (People usually mention the first knuckle on their pointer finger as a guide, but if you're shorter, like me, or taller than average this "measurement" is useless since your knuckle will be less or more than an inch from the tip of your finger.)Īfter adding the water, gently stir in the seasoning packet, then cover and cook as usual. Place in rice cooker, flatten on bottom before -gently- (gently because if you pour fast the rice gets kicked up and you can't see how much water to use) adding 1 inch of water over the top of it. (IN AN 1100 WATT MICROWAVE DO NOT COOK FOR MORE THAN 1 MINUTE OR THE VERMICELLI WILL BURN) Stir butter and rice well, then cook for another 1-2 minutes, until the vermicelli is a light brown. Learned this the hard way.) and microwave on high for 1 minute. In a round ( for even cooking) 2-quart microwaveable glass casserole dish ( because some plastic isn't microwave safe and most metal isn't) combine the rice/vermicelli mix with 2 tablespoons of butter/margarine ( DO NOT USE SOMETHING WITH LESS THAN 56% FAT OR YOUR FOOD WILL BE GUMMY. I followed the microwave directions at first: I have a box of store brand beef rice & vermicelli (6.8 oz box) and So, I took a flying leap and tried it myself, with great results! Here is what I did: I ran across this post while looking to see if it could be done and, truth be told, I couldn't find much. Essentially it will continue to cook until all the water has boiled away. In my answer here, I explained how a rice cooker works. From the box rice I've made on the stove in the past, I know it is a bit more "wet" than rice made from a rice cooker. Please note that one main difference that might occur is slight difference in moisture content.
You would make the rice then later add a cheese sauce that you made. Such as the cheese flavored rice you mentioned. Often though there might be some flavors that can't be added until afterwards. If you want to imitate a specific flavor, you need to first find out exactly what that flavour is and put that seasoning in the water that cook the rice. I often like to flavor my rice if I plan on making fried rice or if I am lazy and don't feel like making anything but rice. It is very possible to flavor white rice with seasoning. The rice cooker is able to cook it but the result probably will not be as good. There are bits of pasta in the mixture too. These box rices typically call for the mixture to be first browned in butter before adding water and flavoring because it is not all rice. It is possible to use a rice cooker to prepare rice from boxes but it is not optimal.
