Where to find ingredients
All ingredients are pantry staples easily found at your local supermarket. Long-grain white rice is available in the grain aisle. Star anise can usually be found in the baking or spice aisle, often sold in small glass jars; check the specialty spice section if you have trouble locating it.
Preparation method
- Combine the rice, water, salt, and star anise in your pressure cooker
- Stir everything gently with a spoon to ensure the seasoning is distributed
- Seal the lid tightly and turn the heat to high
- As soon as the cooker starts whistling or hissing to indicate pressure, lower the heat
- Let it cook for 5 minutes
- Turn off the heat and allow the steam to release naturally until the noise stops completely
- Open the cooker safely and discard the star anise
- Transfer the rice to a serving bowl
- Serve the rice while it is nice and hot
Observations
This simple cooking method yields rice with a tender texture and a delicate, slightly sticky finish. It is a fantastic choice for pairing with Asian-inspired dishes or any meal that needs a little something extra to elevate the aroma.
