Instant Pot Jasmine Rice Recipes

PERFECT INSTANT POT RICE

Steps:

• 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~

FLUFFY INSTANT POT JASMINE RICE

Steps:

• Rinse the rice in a mesh strainer for 30 seconds or until the water runs clear.
• Add the rice, salt and olive oil to your instant pot and set to the saute function.
• Saute for 2-3 minutes, slightly toasting the rice to bring out more flavor. You don't want the rice to actually brown, just slightly cook to infuse the oil into the rice which enhances the flavor.
• Add the water and stir well.
• Put the lid on and turn the valve to sealing.
• Set manual high pressure for 4 minutes. It will take a few minutes for the instant pot to come to pressure, and then the timer will begin.
• Let release naturally for 10 minutes, then turn the valve open and let the steam finish releasing.
• Remove the lid, fluff with a fork and enjoy!

INSTANT POT JASMINE RICE

Steps:

• 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!
• Add rinsed and drained rice to the Instant Pot and pour in the water. Stir in the salt and the oil.
• 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.
• 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.

INSTANT POT RICE RECIPE

Steps:

• Place 1.5 cups of white rice into a colander or a bowl and rinse under cold water 4-5 times; drain well. Don't skip this step as the water rinses excess starch, preventing the rice from getting stodgy and sticky when cooked.
• Turn the Instant Pot on. Transfer the drained rice into the pot and pour in 2 cups of water and 1/2 teaspoon of salt (or chicken or vegetable stock with no extra salt).
• Secure and lock the lid; make sure that the pressure handle on the top is set to the Sealing position. Select Manual/Pressure Cook button and adjust the time to 4 minutes at HIGH pressure. After a few seconds, the ON sign will come on indicating that the pressure is starting to build (you might also hear 3 beeps on some models). The time of 4 minutes on HIGH works well for thinner Jasmine and Basmati rice; for slightly thicker long-grain or medium-grain white rice, you could do 5 minutes.
• It will take about 5 minutes for the pressure to build, during which the cooking already begins. Then, the 4-minute timer will begin. Once the timer ends, leave the Instant Pot uninterrupted for 3-4 minutes to release pressure naturally. Then use the steam-releasing knob to let off the remaining pressure (or move the pressure handle to Venting). If you let the pressure release naturally longer, the rice will keep cooking very slowly, however, it will not have any liquid to absorb so it might get a little stuck to the bottom.
• Carefully open the lid. Use a fork or a spatula to stir and fluff up the rice before serving as a side with your favorite meat or vegetable dishes.
