Top tip
Cilantro-Lime Rice Instant Pot is a delicious and healthy dish that can be easily made at home. Here are some tips to help you make the perfect Cilantro-Lime Rice Instant Pot:
- Rinse the rice before cooking to remove any excess starch. This will help ensure that the rice is cooked evenly and prevent it from sticking together.
- Add the cilantro and lime juice at the end of cooking, just before serving. This will help preserve the bright flavor of the cilantro and prevent it from wilting.
- If you like your rice on the softer side, add a bit more water during cooking. If you prefer it to be firmer, reduce the amount of water slightly.
- Be sure to let the Cilantro-Lime Rice Instant Pot rest for a few minutes after cooking before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the rice to absorb all of the delicious broth.
