Notes
- One cup of dried rice makes approximately 3 cups of cooked rice. If you want to cook more rice, you can double or triple the amount of rice and water. Two cups of dried rice makes 6 cups of cooked rice. The cooking time is the same no matter if you use one or three cups of rice.
- A lot of people ask if it's absolutely necessary to rinse the rice. You don't have to do it for all kinds of rice, but for Jasmine it’s important to rinse the white rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This will rinse off excess starches and prevent the rice in becoming too sticky or gummy.
- Jasmine rice does not need to soak before being cooked, so don't leave it in the Instant Pot with the water for too long. It should be cooked right away, to prevent the rice from soaking up some of the water before hand. It can become soggy or it can trigger the burn warning when there isn't enough water to rice ratio.
- You can let the rice rest for 5-10 minutes before serving to release some of the excess steam. It will become more fluffy as this occurs. However, don't leave the rice in the pot on warm, or it will overcook and become soggy and gooey.
