2 cups water
1 star anise
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups water
1 star anise
1 teaspoon salt
Where to find ingredients
You can find long-grain white rice, star anise, and high-quality sea salt in the dry goods aisle of any local supermarket or grocery store. If you are unable to find star anise, a small stick of cinnamon can be used as an aromatic substitute, though the final flavor profile will differ.
Preparation method
- Place the rice, water, salt, and star anise into a pressure cooker.
- Gently stir everything together with a spoon.
- Seal the pressure cooker lid and place over high heat.
- Once the cooker reaches pressure and starts hissing, reduce the heat to low.
- Cook for 5 minutes.
- Turn off the heat and allow the pressure to release naturally until the hissing sound stops completely.
- Carefully open the cooker and remove the star anise.
- Transfer the rice to a serving bowl.
- Serve the dish while still hot.
Observations
This cooking method results in rice with a tender texture and a slightly sticky consistency. It serves as an excellent pairing for East Asian-inspired dishes or any meal that calls for a distinct, aromatic touch.
