Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 cups jasmine rice
  • 2 cups water
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil or coconut oil (optional)

Instructions

  • Rinse the rice in a strainer under running water for a minute or two until the water is clear. Jasmine rice does not need to be soaked or it will be soggy.
  • Add the rice and water to the Instant Pot and stir it around to combine. Secure the lid and seal the steam valve.
  • Pressure cook on HIGH for 7 minutes. Remember it will take a few minutes for your electric pressure cooker to warm up.
  • When the timer goes off, allow the steam to naturally release for 10 minutes then manually release the rest of the steam.
  • Fluff the rice with a fork and leave the lid on askew and the Instant Pot on warm until ready to serve. Store any leftovers covered in the fridge for 4-5 days.

Notes

  • Store any leftover rice covered in the fridge for 4-5 days. You can also freeze cooked rice for up to 6 months. 
  • This recipe will work with any type of electric pressure cooker, not just the Instant Pot. 
  • Always read the instruction manual that came with your Instant Pot or electric pressure cooker and follow all safety guidelines.
