With an appliance

  • Pressure cooker 35 min

    Replace step 1: simmer the soaked rice with plenty of water under high pressure for 12 minutes, then release the pressure naturally for 12 minutes, stirring with the lid open until the grains dissolve into a smooth paste. The meatballs in step 3 should still be cooked with the lid open for 5 minutes to prevent them from collapsing.
