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 or jasmine rice, salt, and star anise in the pantry aisles of major supermarkets like SM Supermarket or Robinsons Supermarket. Local public markets (palengke) also carry these pantry staples, often sold by weight.
Preparation method
- Place the rice, water, salt, and star anise inside the pressure cooker.
- Gently stir everything together using a spoon.
- Close the lid securely and place the cooker over high heat.
- Once the pressure cooker begins to whistle or hiss, lower the heat.
- Let it cook for 5 minutes.
- Turn off the heat and wait for the pressure to release naturally until the hissing sound stops completely.
- Carefully open the cooker and remove the star anise.
- Transfer the rice into a serving bowl.
- Serve the dish while still warm.
Observations
This cooking method results in rice with a soft, slightly clumpy texture. It is an excellent choice to pair with Asian-inspired dishes or any meal that calls for a distinct aromatic touch.
