Ingredients
- 1 cup jasmine rice
- 1 1/4 cups water
- 1 tablespoon butter (optional)
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Rinse Rice: Rinse the jasmine rice 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, butter (if using), and a pinch of salt in the Instant Pot’s inner pot.
- Set Cooking Program: Close the lid securely, set the valve to sealing position, and program the Instant Pot to cook on high pressure for 4 minutes.
- Pressure Release: Allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes once cooking is complete, then carefully perform a quick release to release any remaining pressure.
- Fluff and Serve: Open the lid, fluff the rice gently with a fork, and serve immediately as a delicious side dish.
Notes
- Rinsing the rice is essential for fluffy texture.
- Butter is optional but adds richness and flavor.
- Do not open the lid immediately after cooking; allowing natural pressure release ensures optimal texture.
- Use the exact water to rice ratio for best results.
