Ingredients
- 1 cup of uncooked sticky rice

- Release the pressure: When the timer goes off, carefully turn the knob to the “venting” position to release the steam. Once the steam has been released, carefully open the Instant Pot and fluff the rice with a fork.
- Serve: Serve your sticky rice and enjoy!
Your sticky rice is now done cooking! This is a quick and easy way to make perfect sticky rice in the Instant Pot. Enjoy your delicious dish, and happy cooking!
