Ingredients

  • 1 cup dried jasmine rice
  • 1 ¼ cups water
  • 1 teaspoon salt decrease the amount if you use broth instead of water
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil to help grains stick less when cooked. You may use coconut oil or butter instead

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add the jasmine rice to a bowl with enough cold water to cover it. Rinse it several times until the water becomes clear. Drain the rice!
  2. Add rinsed and drained rice to the Instant Pot and pour in the water. Stir in the salt and the oil.
  3. Lock the lid, turn the valve to sealing, and cook on high pressure for 3 minutes (white) or 20-22 minutes (brown). This is for ‘al dente’ rice! Add 1-2 minutes more if you prefer yours super tender. Depending on your model, you may have to either use the manual function or press the rice button and adjust the time manually. It takes about 6 minutes for the Instant Pot to come to pressure.
  4. When the cooking time comes to an end, wait for 5 minutes and then do a quick release. Fluff the rice with a fork while it is still hot and enjoy.
