Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup buckwheat groats
  • 1 ½ cup water
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • Rinse the buckwheat using a mesh strainer.
  • Add it to the Instant Pot with the water and salt and stir.
  • Set the Instant Pot to high pressure and cook for 5 minutes.
  • Once it beeps, turn off the Instant Pot and allow for natural release for 10 minutes and then quick vent.
  • Fluff with a fork and serve.

Notes

  • If the buckwheat is a little too wet when you open the lid, just give it a couple minutes to finish absorbing all the moisture.
  • If you want to cook more buckwheat, use the ratio of 1 part buckwheat to 1 ½ parts water.  The cooking time remains the same.

Equipment

  • Instant Pot
