Notes
The amount of water can be adjusted depending on the desired texture of the rice. If you would like your rice to be a little softer, add 2 tablespoons more water.
Also, the larger Instant Pots seem to lose a little more steam than the 3-quart travel size Instant Pot. So if you are using a large Instant Pot, add 1 to 2 tablespoons water.
