Ingredients:

  • 1 cup (200g) of long-grain white rice (like Basmati or Jasmine)
  • 1 ¼ cups (300ml) of water
  • 1 tablespoon (15ml) of olive oil (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon (5g) of salt (to taste)

Instructions:

  1. Place the rice in a fine-mesh sieve and rinse under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
  2. In the Instant Pot, combine rinsed rice, water, olive oil, and salt.
  3. Secure the lid and turn the valve to the sealing position.
  4. Select the Manual or Pressure Cook setting, adjusting the time to 12 minutes.
  5. Allow the Instant Pot to come to pressure and cook. (The pot will take about 5-10 minutes to reach pressure.)
  6. Once cooking is complete, let the pressure naturally release for 10 minutes before turning the valve to release any remaining pressure.
  7. Carefully open the lid, fluff the rice with a fork, and serve hot.
