This Instant Pot method for Jasmine Rice makes the best, fluffiest rice every time. I have tried stove top methods, rice cooker methods and even microwave methods, but none of them make the perfect Jasmine Rice like this recipe!
Ingredients in Instant Pot Jasmine Rice
Jasmine Rice – Jasmine rice is a variety of long grain rice commonly used in Thai food and other cuisines of Southeast Asia. It is very fragrant and goes great with aromatic dishes like curries. Water – Filtered water is best for making rice. If you want to add more flavor to the rice, then use chicken broth or vegetable broth instead. Salt – The salt is optional – it just adds flavor to your rice.
Don’t Use the “Rice” Button
Don’t use the rice button on your Instant Pot or pressure cooker. The rice function may work well enough for white rice varieties but won’t work for any other variety. The “rice” function is programmed to “low” pressure and cooks for 12 minutes which gets the job done but tends to make the rice more sticky (in my opinion). Set your cooking time manually on high pressure for the times suggested above and your rice will simply turn out better.
Reheating Rice
You can store leftover rice in the fridge. It will stay good in the refrigerator for about a week. You can also store it in the freezer. My favorite way to use up leftover rice is to make fried rice, stir fry, or Mexican rice. I just heat a little oil in a skillet and toss the rice with some seasonings or other ingredients while heating. The oil keeps the rice from sticking together and gives it the perfect texture for these types of recipes. However, if I just want to reheat the rice as is, I simply heat it in the microwave. Sprinkle a little water over the rice and cover with a lightly damp paper towel. Then heat for 45 seconds at a time until hot, fluffing with a fork between each time.
