Place your water in the instant pot, and add the optional salt if desired. Add the rinsed rice into the water (keeping stray rice grains from the inner pot of your instant pot). Cook rice by selecting the manual cook time for 4 minutes.Serve. Allow your instant pot to go to ‘keep warm’ for 10 minutes after your cook time, then turn off your instant pot and do a natural pressure release, venting the steam.

💠Angela’s Tips & Recipe Notes
- Use broth to match your protein for adding more flavor to the jasmine rice. Simply swap the same amount of chicken, beef, seafood, or vegetable broth or stock for the water amount needed for your desired portion size of cooked rice.You can also enhance the flavor by sautéing the rice with oil for about 2 minutes, prior to adding the water and pressure cooking the rice. Cook your rice for 3 minutes on ‘high setting’ rather than 4 minutes as directed above, if using this sauté option.This Instant Pot jasmine rice recipe can be reduced or increased, using a 1:1 ratio of rice and water. You can use 1 cup of rice and 1 cup of water, 2 cups each, 3 cups each, or 4 cups each of rice and water with the same cooking time successfully.1 teaspoon of olive oil or butter (or your choice of cooking oil) can be added when cooking your rice.Jasmine is long-grain rice and cooks differently than standard white rice. Do not use the ‘rice’ setting (low pressure) on your instant pot or electric pressure cooker.
🥡 Storing & Reheating
Store your unused jasmine rice in an air-tight container in the refrigerator. Properly refrigerated jasmine rice will last up to 4-6 days.
How To Reheat Jasmine Rice In The Microwave
Place leftover jasmine rice into a microwave-safe bowl and add 1 tablespoon of water for each 1 cup of cooked jasmine rice. Stir the rice using a fork. Break up any clumps in the rice.
Cover most of the bowl with cling film, leaving an area for the steam to vent. Or cover with a paper towel (I use a damp paper towel for my best results). Depending on your portion size, 1-2 minutes on high in the microwave should reheat your rice. Be careful of steam when handling hot dishes!
Reheating Jasmine Rice On The Stove Top
Place leftover jasmine rice into a saucepan and stir with a fork to break up clumps. Drizzle water or a small amount of oil in to help add moisture back to the rice.
Heat on a low setting for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cooked rice is warmed through completely. Add water as necessary during the heating process to keep your rice fluffy and moist.

Why Is My Jasmine Rice Sticking Together In The Instant Pot? If this is happening, you might have not washed your rice thoroughly enough before cooking. Unwashed rice contains residual starch, so the rice will gelatinize in the hot water causing it to be extra sticky. Why Did My Instant Pot Jasmine Rice Turn Out Mushy? You most likely overcooked your rice if you end up with a mushy texture. Also, another reason could be that you used too much water. Both of these reasons can cause the rice’s structure to break down. Can You Freeze Jasmine Rice? Absolutely! Just make sure to allow your rice to completely cool down before you store it in a freezer-safe container or heavy-duty storage bag. Enjoy within 6 months and follow the reheating directions above!
