Add rice, water, and salt to a stainless steel bowl. Place the rice bowl over the trivet and place the trivet in the Instant Pot.
Pressure cook for 4 minutes, followed by a 5 minutes natural pressure release. Release the remaining pressure manually and then open the Instant Pot.
Main Pot Method
This method works best when you have more than 1.5 cups of jasmine rice.
Add rice, water and salt into the Instant Pot insert.
Pressure cook on Hi pressure mode for 4 minutes followed by quick release.
Notes
Prevent overcooking – Once done, transfer the inner pot to a trivet to stop further cooking and avoid mushy rice.
Rice looks undercooked? – Close the lid and let it sit for 5 minutes. Residual heat will finish cooking it.
Do not stir while hot – Let the rice cool slightly, then gently fluff with a silicone spatula to keep the grains intact.
To serve – Gently loosen the rice along the sides with a soft spatula and serve.
Making ahead for a party? – Spread the rice on a tray to cool. Use slightly wet hands to separate sticky grains. Reheat in the microwave, oven, or chafing dish when ready to serve.
