If you like rice that is fluffy tender and full of wonderful authentic tastes, this Instant Pot recipe is for you.

This recipe is for 3-4 servings. But if you have a large family like me; double the ingredients and keep cook time the same for a larger reward. Or put leftovers and meal preps in the fridge to save time for a busy week.
