This pressure-cooker jasmine rice comes out light and fluffy with almost no hands-on work. It is an easy family-friendly side for bowls, casseroles, stir-fries, or meal prep.
A QUICK NOTE
For more separate grains, rinse the rice under cool water until the water runs mostly clear. Whether you use water or broth, keep the rice-to-liquid ratio at 1:1.
COOK TIME
3 minutes at high pressure, plus a 10-minute natural release
INGREDIENTS
2 cups jasmine rice
2 cups water or broth
Optional: butter and lime juice
Salt, pepper, chopped cilantro, or other seasonings, to taste
DIRECTIONS
1. Add the jasmine rice and water or broth to the inner pot of a Ninja Foodi or other pressure cooker. Stir and make sure all the rice is submerged.
2. If using butter or lime juice, stir it in now.
3. Secure the pressure-cooker lid and turn the valve to SEAL.
4. Cook on high pressure for 3 minutes. When the cooking cycle ends, allow the pressure to release naturally for 10 minutes.
5. After 10 minutes, carefully turn the valve to VENT to release any remaining pressure.
6. Fluff the rice with a fork. Season with salt, pepper, cilantro, or your favorite additions, then serve.
