Mexican Style White Rice (Instant Pot)

I eat rice almost every day with whatever ethnicity of food I’m going to eat. I am convinced there is no better way to make rice than in an Instant Pot. Wash your rice. Equal amounts of rice to water. Set at 4 minutes. 4 FUCKING MINUTES! That’s it. And the rice turns out better than any rice cooker I’ve ever used. Better than boiling it on the stove top. It is completely dummy proof.
While looking very plain, this Mexican style white rice have just a ton of flavor. Adding the grated onion and minced garlic to the rice does nothing but enhance this side dish. Ive seen recipes where the onion and garlic are pureed with the water before adding to the rice. Either way, sounds like a win/win to me.
