WHITE RICE IN THE PRESSURE COOKER

White Rice in the Pressure Cooker is a game changer when it comes to cooking rice. It requires minimal effort, next to no ingredients and is so much faster than cooking it on the stovetop.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Jasmine White Rice
  • 1 cup Cold Water
  • Salt to taste, optional

Instructions

  • Add the rice to a fine mesh strainer. Under cold running water, use your hands to scrub the rice against the stainless steel basket of the strainer releasing excess starches. Do this until the water runs clear and is no longer cloudy. Drain well.

  • When the Instant Pot beeps, allow it to naturally release the pressure for 10 minutes. Then turn the venting knob to the venting position to release the remaining pressure.

Notes

If you want to cook more rice, double/triple the amount using the 1:1 rice to water ratio. There is no need to adjust the cooking time.
