Rinse uncooked rice in a fine-mesh strainer under cool water until the water runs clear.
In the insert of the Instant Pot, add rice, water (or broth), salt, olive oil, lime zest, and minced garlic. Stir.
Lock the lid into place and set the steam release handle (valve on top) to “Sealing”.
Press Manual>High Pressure>5 minutes. It will take 5-8 minutes to get up to pressure.
When the rice has finished cooking, the Instant Pot will beep. Press the "keep warm/off" button to turn it to off.
Allow it to sit for 10 minutes and then flip the switch to "venting" to remove any remaining pressure.
Carefully open the lid, add the cilantro, and fluff the rice with a fork or rice scoop.
If desired, add lime juice or more lime zest to taste.
Notes
Stovetop: combine all ingredients except cilantro in a saucepan. Bring mixture to a boil, reduce to low, and cook for 15 minutes with the lid on. Add cilantro and fluff with a fork.For Instant Pot Jasmine brown rice, you’ll need to add an extra 1/8 cup of water/broth and cook for 17 minutes with a 10-minute natural release.
