5 from 1 review

This homemade instant rice recipe delivers the convenience of store-bought Minute Rice with the wholesome taste of home-cooked grains. By cooking and dehydrating rice, you create a pantry staple that’s ultra-quick to prepare!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 cups white rice
  • 5 cups water (if using a pressure cooker; you’ll need to use 10 cups water if preparing your rice on a stovetop)
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Rinse 5 cups of rice under cold water to remove excess starch. Place the rinsed rice in a pressure cooker and add 5 cups of water along with 1 teaspoon of salt.
  2. Ensure the pressure valve is set to airtight, then cook the rice on high pressure for 7 minutes. After cooking, allow the pressure to release naturally.
  3. Once the rice is cooked, fluff it gently with a fork to prevent large clumps.
  4. Spread the cooked rice evenly in a single layer on dehydrator trays. Dehydrate the rice at 125°F for 7 to 8 hours, or until it is completely dry and hard. You can test for doneness by checking that the rice is hard and breaks easily without any signs of moisture.
  5. After dehydrating, break up any large clumps of rice using a masher or your hands.
  6. Store the dried rice in an airtight container, such as a mason jar. You can vacuum seal it for long-term storage, if you like.
