Scale
Ingredients
- 1 cup jasmine rice, rinsed well
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
- 1 teaspoon oil or butter (optional for flavor)
Instructions
- Rinse the Rice: Rinse the jasmine rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch, ensuring the rice cooks up fluffy and not sticky.
- Add Ingredients to Instant Pot: Combine the rinsed rice, water, salt (if using), and oil or butter (if using) in the Instant Pot’s inner pot.
- Seal and Cook: Lock the Instant Pot lid and set the valve to the sealing position. Set the Instant Pot to cook on high pressure for 4 minutes.
- Natural Pressure Release: After the cooking time ends, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes to finish the cooking gently and enhance texture.
- Quick Release Any Remaining Pressure: Carefully turn the valve to venting to release any remaining pressure to safely open the lid.
- Fluff and Serve: Use a fork to fluff the cooked jasmine rice and serve immediately as a side dish.
Notes
- For firmer rice, reduce water slightly (less than 1 cup).
- For softer rice, increase water to 1 1/4 cups.
- This recipe can be easily doubled while maintaining a 1:1 rice-to-water ratio.
