Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups long-grain white rice, such as basmati or jasmine
  • 2 cups water
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Rinse the rice in a mesh strainer under running water for about 2 minutes, until the water is relatively clear. Alternatively soak the rice in water for 10 to 20 minutes, then rinse for about 1 minute.
  2. Put the rice in the Instant Pot and add the water and salt. Stir to combine.
  3. Lock the lid in place, choose high pressure, and set the timer to 4 minutes. It will take about 5 minutes for the pressure to build and cooking to start.
  4. When the rice is done, let the pressure come down for 12 minutes, then release the remaining pressure.
  5. Fluff the rice and transfer it to a serving bowl.
