Instant Pot Jasmine Rice

The instant pot is the perfect appliance to cook jasmine rice. Just set it to cook and free yourself up to prep other dishes. This Instant Pot Jasmine Rice comes out fluffy and delicious.

Jasmine Rice in Instant Pot

I love an appliance that works for me, and the instant pot is a workhorse in my kitchen. I can cook all sorts of things in it and know the ingredients will turn out perfectly every time. It’s so simple to set up the instant pot and then cook a main dish in the meantime. Multi-tasking made easy!

You can serve up the cooked jasmine rice as is, or flavor it with seasonings and sauces. Try sprinkling on herbs that complement the main dish. Or add the rice to a main course, such as soups or meal bowls. My kids love it when I serve jasmine rice with a seasoned protein (chicken, ground beef, etc) and they can top their bowls with their favorite sauces. Makes for a very kid-friendly and healthy dinner!

Like the idea of cooking a side dish in the instant pot? Try out these Frozen Brussels Sprouts, Great Northern Beans, or Instant Pot Fresh Steamed Spinach. All are basic side dishes that can be seasoned or flavored to match the main dish.

How To Make Instant Pot Jasmine Rice

Open lid of instant pot and scoop out rice into a serving bowl. It’s that easy!
