Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (200g) long-grain white rice, such as Basmati or Jasmine
  • 1 ¼ cups (300ml) water
  • ½ teaspoon (3g) salt (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Place the rice in a fine-mesh sieve or bowl. Rinse under cold running water, swirling the rice, until the water runs clear (about 2-3 minutes). This removes excess starch and prevents stickiness.
  2. Add the rinsed rice, water, and salt (if using) to the Instant Pot inner pot.
  3. Secure the lid and set the valve to the 'Sealing' position. Select the 'Manual' or 'Pressure Cook' setting and set the cook time to 5 minutes on HIGH pressure.
  4. Once the cooking time is complete, allow the Instant Pot to naturally release pressure for 15 minutes. Do not quick-release the pressure.
  5. After 15 minutes, carefully release any remaining pressure. Open the lid and fluff the rice gently with a fork.
  6. Serve immediately and enjoy your instant pot white rice.
