Instructions

The first thing you will want to do is rinse your rice in cold water. Make sure you give it a good rinse and that the water runs clear.
Next, spray the inner pot of your electric pressure cooker with cooking oil spray, and then add the rinsed rice to your pot.
Now you need to add an equal amount of liquid to your rice (2 cups of rice = 2 cups of liquid). Pour the full-fat coconut milk into a measuring cup and then fill the measuring cup to 2 cups with water.
Add the coconut milk and water to your instant pot.
Close the lid of your pot and turn your pressure release valve to Sealing position.
Use the Pressure Cook or Manual button and set the cooking time to 24 minutes.
When the cook time has completed let the remaining pressure naturally release. Allow a natural release time of at least 10 minutes, and turn off the "keep warm" setting if your pot has one. Allowing the rice to naturally release pressure without the heat keeps the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
