Ingredients
- 1 cup jasmine rice
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon olive oil (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)
Instructions
- Rinse Rice: Rinse jasmine rice under cold running water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch, which prevents the rice from becoming sticky.
- Add Ingredients to Instant Pot: Place rinsed rice and 1 cup water into the Instant Pot. Add olive oil and salt if desired, which enhance flavor and texture.
- Pressure Cook: Secure the Instant Pot lid and set it to Pressure Cook (or Manual) mode on High Pressure for 3 to 5 minutes to cook the rice evenly.
- Natural Pressure Release: Allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes, which helps the rice finish cooking gently and avoids sticking to the bottom.
- Manual Release and Fluff: After natural release, carefully do a manual pressure release to remove any remaining pressure. Open the lid and fluff the rice with a fork before serving.
Notes
- Rinsing the rice is essential to remove excess starch and avoid clumping.
- Adjust cooking time slightly based on preference for softer or firmer rice.
- Olive oil and salt are optional but recommended for flavor and texture enhancement.
- Use a glass lid if reheating in Instant Pot on the keep warm setting to prevent drying out.
- Storage: Cooked Jasmine rice can be refrigerated for up to 4 days in an airtight container.
