Instant Pot Jasmine Rice
Description
The Instant Pot Jasmine Rice recipe begins with carefully rinsed jasmine rice to remove surface starch, helping achieve a non-sticky fluffy texture. The rice is cooked with an equal amount of water and salt in an Instant Pot on high pressure, followed by a natural release to complete the cooking gently.
The result is soft, tender rice with separated grains, ideal for pairing with flavorful stir fries, curries, or grilled dishes. The recipe highlights the importance of measuring both rice and water precisely, as slight deviations can affect the texture.
Common serving suggestions include adding a sprinkle of furikake seasoning or serving alongside popular Asian-style proteins. Leftover rice stores well in airtight containers in the refrigerator and lasts up to five days, making it convenient for meal planning.
For unwashed rice, more water may be needed and a slightly starchier texture will result. The rinsing step is essential for the recommended fluffy outcome, and leftover rice is recommended for dishes like fried rice to reduce stickiness.
Ingredients
- 1 cup jasmine rice uncooked
- 1 cup water cool
- ¼ tsp table salt fine
Instructions
- Place rice in a fine mesh colander. Rinse rice under cold running water, while stirring the rice around – your goal is to wash away as much of the starchy water as possible, until water emerges mostly clear.
- Drain rice as thoroughly as possible, so there is no more water dripping from colander (if there is too much excess water, it will affect your water to rice ratio).
- Add rice to the Instant Pot, along with 1 cup of freshwater and table salt. Close lid tightly, turn vent knob to sealed position, and pressure cook on high for 3 minutes. Allow pressure cooker to do a natural release for 10 minutes and then manually release.
- Fluff rice and serve while hot. See notes for serving ideas.
