On saute setting on instant pot add water ,coconut milk,salt and sugar till it boils
Add drained rice and cook on high pressure for 8 minutes,release pressure squeeze lime juice,sprinkle zest on it and fluff rice with fork and let it stay in pot covered till ready to serve Asian inspired chilli beef
