Notes
** White rice doesn’t form a fluffy rice, but a stickier rice.
You can easily make this in the instant pot. Follow the recipe as is, until it’s time to cook the rice for 15 minutes. At that point, set your instant pot for manual 10 minutes with the rice, sausage, veggies, & water inside. Let it come to natural release for 2-3 minutes before releasing the remaining steam.
