Equipment

  • Instant Pot or an electric pressure cooker

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 onion chopped fine
  • 3 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
  • 2 teaspoons Thai red curry paste
  • 2 cups vegetable or chicken broth
  • 1 14-ounce can coconut milk, divided
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce plus extra for seasoning
  • 1/2 cup wild rice picked over and rinsed
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons lime juice plus lime wedges for serving
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
  • 6 ounces white mushrooms trimmed and sliced thin
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

Instructions
 

  • Using the highest sauté or browning function on the Instant Pot, heat the vegetable oil until shimmering. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in the garlic, ginger, and red curry paste, cooking until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  • Add the broth, half the coconut milk, fish sauce, and rinsed wild rice. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom to prevent burning.
  • Secure the Instant Pot lid and close the pressure valve. Set to high-pressure cook for 30 minutes. Once finished, turn off the cooker and use the quick-release method to release the pressure. Carefully remove the lid, allowing steam to escape away from you.
  • Stir in the remaining coconut milk, lime juice, and sugar. Add the mushrooms and cook using the highest sauté or browning function until tender, about 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Turn off the Instant Pot, stir in the chopped cilantro, and adjust seasoning with extra fish sauce, salt, and pepper to taste.
  • Ladle the soup into bowls and serve with lime wedges for added freshness.
