Arroz con Huevo (Rice with a Egg)
Arroz con Huevo (Rice with Egg)
This is a real simple rice side dish that takes only 6 minutes in the Instant Pot. This rice can be made with or without the achiote paste. It just depends on what color and flavor you’re going for. A long grain rice will work the best for this recipe. I used basmati. What makes this side dish even better is that the rice is topped off with a fried egg.

Indian Yellow Rice (Instant Pot)
I absolutely love using my Instant Pot for making rice. It takes only 4 minutes of time if pressure cooking and requires minimal clean up. The sauté function works better then my stove top. I was very skeptical about getting one, but heard nothing but great reviews. I highly recommend making an investment into an Instant Pot.This rice is a very simple one pot side dish that takes no time. Just a few minutes of sautéing the ingredients, then 4 minutes under the pressure cooker function. That’s it. Perfect rice every time. Better then any rice steamer I’ve used.
