For a richer flavor, try toasting the rice in a dry pan for a few minutes before cooking. If you prefer a sweeter dish, add a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup. Feel free to experiment with other tropical fruits, such as mango or papaya. If you don't have coconut milk, you can substitute with regular milk or cream, but the flavor will be different.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPrepare the Rice: Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and ensures fluffy, separate grains. (5 minutes)
02
StepCombine Ingredients: In the Instant Pot, combine the rinsed rice, water, crushed pineapple (with its juice), coconut milk, and red pepper flakes. Stir well to ensure even distribution. (2 minutes)
03
StepPressure Cook: Secure the Instant Pot lid, ensuring the valve is set to sealing. Select the 'Manual' or 'Pressure Cook' setting on high pressure and set the timer for 3 minutes. (1 minute)
04
StepNatural Pressure Release: Once the cooking time is complete, allow the pressure to release naturally for 20 minutes. This is crucial for preventing the rice from becoming mushy. (20 minutes)
05
StepFinishing Touches: Carefully release any remaining pressure. Open the lid and fluff the rice with a fork. Stir in the lime zest and juice. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. (3 minutes)
06
StepServe: Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves, if desired. Serve immediately as a side dish to grilled chicken, fish, or vegetarian curries.
