Cooking
Put the chopped onions, leeks, and carrots into the pressure cooker.

Then add the rice, orange juice, and salt; mix well and close the lid of the pressure cooker.
Cook over medium high heat until the pressure indicator rises, then cook for another 5 minutes on low heat and remove from the stove.
