Crunchy bok choy stirred into soft, chewy-creamy risotto—this classic Italian rice dish pairs two unassuming foods, Arborio rice and bok choy. Bok choy’s tender green leaves wilt into the hot risotto, and the sweet, the almost-white stalks keep their pleasing crunch. And best of all, this bok choy risotto cooks in your pressure cooker or Instant Pot in 5 minutes!

The truth is, I’ve never made risotto in anything but a pressure cooker. I thought risotto would be too much work. Then I read that busy modern Italian cooks use a pressure cooker to make risotto! Ta-da! Why go the labor-intensive standing-at-the-stove method when I can set the timer for 4 minutes, release the pressure and have risotto done and perfectly cooked? Learn here how to cook risotto in the pressure cooker!
