Perfect Instant Pot Rice
Description
The Perfect Instant Pot Rice recipe starts by rinsing jasmine rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear, removing surface starch to prevent clumping. The rinsed, well-drained rice is combined with an equal amount of cold water and optionally fine sea salt in the Instant Pot. The pressure cooker is sealed and set to high pressure for 3 minutes, followed by a natural release of 10 minutes, ensuring the rice cooks evenly without becoming mushy.
After cooking, the rice is fluffed gently with a fork to separate grains and create a light texture. This method reliably produces jasmine rice with a tender yet separated consistency. The recipe notes that using the Instant Pot's rice measuring cup correlates water and rice volumes for best results.
The cooked rice can be served warm alongside main dishes. Adding salt is optional and adjusts the seasoning according to taste.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (230g) jasmine rice
- 1 cup (250ml) water cold
- ¼ - ½ teaspoon fine sea salt optional, or table salt
Instructions
- Rinse Rice: Rinse rice under cold water by gently scrubbing the rice with your fingertips in a circling motion. Pour out the milky water, and continue to rinse until water is clear. Be sure to drain really well.
- Pressure Cook Rice: Add 1 cup (230g) rice and 1 cup (250ml) cold water in Instant Pot Pressure Cooker. Close the lid, turn Venting Knob to Sealing Position. Pressure Cook at High Pressure for 3 minutes, then Natural Release for 10 minutes. Turn Venting Knob to Venting position to release the remaining pressure. Open the lid quickly.
- Optional Seasoning: Add salt to the rice for seasoning.
- Fluff & Serve: Fluff rice with a fork, then serve warm. Enjoy~
Notes
- Use the rice measuring cup from the Instant Pot to maintain proper rice-to-water ratio (1 cup rice = 180 ml).
- Rinse rice well until water runs clear to improve texture and prevent stickiness.
- Remember to fluff rice after cooking to separate grains gently before serving.
