If you love making Jasmine rice and you have an Instant Pot, then this method of cooking rice may be up your alley because it\u2019s super quick. While you can cook jasmine rice in various ways: rice cooker, microwave, or on the stovetop directly, you can also use your Instant Pot as a rice cooker if you need to save space in your kitchen or want a super fast way of cooking rice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Types of jasmine rice to use<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Jasmine rice is a type of long grain rice and it comes in white and brown varieties. Unlike other variations of rice like short grain or medium grain rice, jasmine rice is plump and only slightly sticky due to the low levels of amylopectin. This starch determines the stickiness between the rice grains after cooking. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The difference between white and brown jasmine rice is the same as other varieties, meaning the latter still has the bran intact and will have an even less sticky consistency after cooking and may have nuttier notes of flavor and aroma. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s typically grown in areas like South East Asia like Thailand. Specifically, jasmine rice made from Thailand that is labeled \u201chom mali\u201d is the highest grade of jasmine rice and has the strongest aroma. It\u2019s no coincidence that some of the best dishes to pair with jasmine rice come from Thailand, like Thai Panang curry<\/a>, Thai basil fried rice<\/a>, and pad Thai<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do you need to wash or rinse jasmine rice?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"rinsing<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

It is definitely recommended to rinse rice (any rice at that matter) before cooking because it helps remove dirt and debris in the rice and also remove excess starch on the grains. Make sure to note that if your jasmine rice is made with enriched nutrients like iron, niacin, or folic acid, washing too much of your rice will wash away these nutrients. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jasmine rice to water ratio<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s easy about this recipe is that the ratio is super simple to remember since it\u2019s a 1:1 ratio. I like to use a kitchen scale for anything that happens in the kitchen to reduce error, but you can also use dry and liquid measuring cups. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
