Equipment

  • Instant Pot
  • Fine-Mesh Sieve

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2 cups Jasmine Rice Rinsed thoroughly and drained
  • 2 cups Water Room temperature
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt To taste, adjust after cooking if needed

Instructions

  • Rinse jasmine rice thoroughly to remove excess starch. Place the rice in a fine-mesh sieve and rinse under cold running water until the water runs clear. Drain well.
  • Combine rinsed rice, water, and salt in the Instant Pot. Spread the rice evenly, pour the water over, and sprinkle salt on top. Do not stir.
  • Close the lid and set the Instant Pot to high pressure for 5 minutes. Ensure the valve is sealed. Use the 'Manual' or 'Pressure Cook' setting on high.
  • Allow natural pressure release for 10 minutes before opening the lid. After the 5-minute cook time completes, let the Instant Pot sit untouched for 10 minutes to naturally release pressure, then carefully switch the valve to venting to release any remaining steam and open the lid.
  • Fluff the rice with a fork and serve hot. Gently fluff to separate the grains; avoid vigorous stirring which can make rice gummy. Serve immediately with your favorite mains.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding toasted sesame seeds, chopped scallions, or a drizzle of soy sauce or coconut milk.
