Add all three types of rice to the Instant Pot insert. Rinse rice under cold water, swishing it around with your hand. The water should start turning purple. Carefully, drain away most of the water. Repeat 1-2 times. Drain away as much water as you can.
1 cup black rice, 1 cup short-grain brown rice, 3 cups sushi rice
Put the Instant Pot insert back into the Instant Pot. Pour in 5 cups of fresh water and stir in the salt.
5 cups water, ½ teaspoon sea salt
Cover the Instant Pot and set the valve to "Sealing". Press "Multigrain" button and set the cook time to 20 minutes.
When the Instant Pot is done cooking, let the pressure naturally release for 10 minutes. Then, quick release and open the lid. Fluff and the rice is ready to serve in rice bowls or store in the fridge or freezer!
Optional: How to season the rice for making sushi
If you're making sushi with this rice, transfer 2 cups of cooked rice to a wide bowl and season with about 2 tablespoons of seasoned rice vinegar by gently fluffing the rice, without crushing the grains. Then, use the seasoned rice to make your sushi rolls.
