Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 cups jasmine rice
  • 2 cups water

Instructions

  • Rinse rice and drain it well
  • Add rice and water to Instant Pot
  • Cover and set valve to seal according to manufacturer's instructions
  • Set pressure to high for 4 minutes (it will take about 10 minutes to reach pressure)
  • Once cooking has completed, allow for a 10-minute natural pressure release (don't touch for 10 minutes)
  • Turn valve to release the remaining pressure before removing lid
  • Stir to fluff rice before serving

Notes

  • Store leftover rice in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze single servings in freezer bags for up to 3 months.
  • Jasmine rice tends to be fairly sticky, so don’t skip the rinsing step!
  • Double or triple the recipe in a 6-quart pressure cooker by maintaining a 1:1 rice and liquid ratio. (I do not recommend trying more than 6 cups of dry rice in one batch.)
  • The measurements in this recipe refer to a standard 8-ounce cup - not the cup measurement that often comes with a standard Instant Pot or pressure cooker.
  • This recipe will make approximately 6 cups of cooked rice.
