Ingredients
1 1/2 cups long-grain white rice
2 cups water
1 star anise
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups water
1 star anise
1 teaspoon salt
Where to find ingredients
All ingredients are pantry staples found at any local grocery store or supermarket. You can find star anise in the spice aisle; if your local store has a world food section, look for it there or at specialized Asian or international markets if you have trouble finding it in the main spice section.
Preparation method
- Place the rice, water, salt, and star anise into your pressure cooker
- Give everything a gentle stir with a spoon
- Secure the lid and bring the cooker up to high heat
- Once the cooker reaches pressure, turn the heat down to low
- Let it cook for 5 minutes
- Turn off the heat and let the pressure release naturally until the hissing stops completely
- Carefully open the lid and remove the star anise
- Transfer the rice to a serving bowl
- Serve the dish while nice and hot
Observations
This method yields perfectly fluffy, slightly clingy rice that works beautifully as a side for Asian-inspired dishes or any meal where you want a bit of extra aroma. The star anise subtly perfumes the grains, turning a simple pantry staple into something special.
