Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Vegan Corn Congee in Instant Pot.

1. Step 1

   Start by rinsing your rice under cool running water until the water runs clear, ensuring any excess starch is washed away for a perfect texture.

2. Step 2

   Once rinsed, transfer the rice to your Instant Pot and pour in 6 cups of vegetable broth, creating a flavorful base for your dish.

   Next, take fresh corn on the cob, slice off the kernels, and break the cob into three manageable pieces.

4. Step 4

   Add both the corn kernels and cob pieces to the pot, along with a generous grating of fresh ginger for a delightful zing.

5. Step 5

   Secure the lid of the Instant Pot, making sure it’s locked in place.

6. Step 6

   Select the Porridge function and set the timer for 30 minutes, allowing the magic to happen as the pressure builds over the next 10 to 15 minutes.

   When the timer goes off, embrace the anticipation and let the pressure release naturally for about 15 minutes, following the manufacturer’s instructions.
