    With this sweet rice recipe, you can easily add this tasty side dish to your meals. My husband’s grandmother showed me how to make this delicious recipe when I first met her. Now, I make it in the Instant Pot because it makes it so easy. This sweet rice goes perfectly with my gluten-free fried pork chops, which she also taught me how to make.
