Jasmine Rice in the Instant Pot
Need A Hand
Servings: 4 cups
Ingredients
- 1.5 Cups jasmine rice
- 1.5 Cups cold water
Instructions
To start:
- Rinse the jasmine rice in a mesh strainer.
- Continue rinsing until the water runs from cloudy to clear.
- Place rice into instant pot liner.
- Add 1.5 Cups cold water to instant pot liner.
- Place instant pot liner into instant pot.
- Put instant pot lid on instant pot and lock.
At the Instant Pot:
Waiting:
- The next part is waiting for the Instant Pot to come to pressure.
- This is the variable part that each pot will have a different time for and each person’s experience will be slightly different, so that’s why there’s no set time of “it will take ## of minutes to cook”.
The First Beep:
- Once the instant pot comes to pressure, it will beep to signal that it has begun cooking.
- It will count DOWN from 4 minutes to zero minutes.
- After this it will beep again (the second beep).
The Second Beep:
- At the second beep the timer will start counting UP from zero to… as long as you leave it there.
- We only want to leave it there for 10 minutes.
- Why leave it there for 10 minutes? Check out the Glossary for details on “carry over cooking”.
- NOTE: You can leave it for longer, but you run the risk of mushy rice.
- NOTE: There is not a third beep to let you know that the 10 minutes is up. You must set an additional timer.
Easy idea:
- At the first beep, set a timer for 14 minutes, this will cover the above two steps and let you know when the entire cooking process is done.
Release the Pressure (Last Steps):
- Once the rice is done cooking, it is time to release the pressure valve.
- Do this by using a long handled spoon to turn the pressure valve from sealing to venting.
- NOTE: a lot of steam and some water will quickly vent from the pressure valve.
- NOTE: use caution not to get steam burns while the pressure valve finishes venting.
- Once the pressure valve has let out all of the steam, unlock the lid, typically by turning the lid counterclockwise.
- Place the lid in the lid holder and serve the rice.
Notes
