Ingredients
- 1 cup basmati rice
- 1 ¼ cups water
- 1 Tbsp. butter optional
- ½ tsp. salt plus more to taste
Instructions
- Place rice in a fine mesh strainer. Rinse under cold water for 1 minute, or until it runs clear.
- Add rice, water, butter or oil, if using, and salt to a 6-quart Instant Pot.
- Cover Instant Pot with the lid and move the pressure release valve to the sealed position. Using the pressure cook or manual function, set the timer for 6 minutes on high pressure. (It will take the pressure cooker about 5-10 minutes to fully pressurize.)
- Once the timer goes off, let the pressure release naturally for 10 minutes. Move the pressure release handle to the venting position to let any remaining steam escape. Open the lid once the float valve goes down.
- Use a fork to fluff up the rice and serve immediately.
Notes
- If you like softer rice add 1 ¼ cups water. If you prefer firmer rice add 1 cup water.
- Yield: 1 cup of dried rice equals 3 cups of cooked rice.
- Serving Size: One serving equals ½ cup cooked rice.
- Water: If you like softer rice add 1 ¼ cups water. If you prefer firmer rice add 1 cup water.
- Storage: Cooked basmati rice will keep well in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4-5 days. Leftover rice can also be frozen in a freezer-safe bag or storage container for up to 4-6 months. Portioning out individual servings ahead of time will help with thawing and single-serving use.
- Reheating: Leftover rice is best reheated in the microwave, with a few tablespoons of water sprinkled throughout to help rehydrate it. Warm it 30 seconds at a time, stirring between, until soft and heated through.
