Instant Pot Jasmine Rice
Make perfectly fluffy Instant Pot Jasmine Rice with this easy, foolproof recipe! No more mushy or dry rice—just light, fragrant grains every time.
Equipment
- Instant Pot
- Fine Mesh Strainer
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups jasmine rice rinsed
- 2 cups water
- 1/2 tsp salt optional
- 1 tsp butter or oil optional, for added richness
Instructions
- Rinse the jasmine rice under cold running water until the water becomes clear to remove excess starch.
- Transfer the rinsed rice to the Instant Pot and add the water. If using salt or butter, stir it in now.
- Close the lid, set the valve to “Sealing,” and select the Pressure Cook or Manual mode. Cook on HIGH pressure for 4 minutes.
- Once the cooking time is up, let the pressure naturally release for 10 minutes.
- Carefully switch the valve to “Venting” to release any remaining pressure, then open the lid.
- Fluff the rice gently with a fork and serve immediately.
Notes
For softer rice, add an extra ¼ cup of water per cup of rice. For firmer rice, reduce the water slightly or let it sit uncovered for a few minutes after cooking.
