Vegetable Quinoa Tabbouleh
White Basmati Rice
| By : |
I gave away my rice cooker after I had so much success making rice in the Instant Pot®. Not only is it faster than using the rice cooker, but the end result is fluffier rice. I make a batch every week and serve it with almost any main dish. For a treat, I make super-quick rice pudding by reheating the rice with some milk, butter, cinnamon, raisins, and maple syrup. You can also blend cooked rice with water and then strain it to make homemade rice milk.
Ingredients

Instructions
- Combine the rice and water in the inner pot.
- Lock the lid into place. Select Pressure Cook or Manual; set the pressure to High and the time to 8 minutes. Make sure the steam release knob is in the sealed position. After cooking, quick release the pressure.
- Unlock and remove the lid. Serve the rice immediately, or place it in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
Recipe Notes
ADVANCE PREP TIP: Rinse and drain your rice and place it in the Instant Pot® with the water up to 8 hours ahead of time. When you’re ready to start cooking, just plug it in and set the time.
MEAL PREP TIP: White rice is incredibly versatile, soaking up the flavors of whatever it is served with. Try it with Green Thai Coconut Curry with Tofu (THE HEALTHY MEAL PREP INSTANT POT® COOKBOOK page 90), Kung Pao Chicken (THE HEALTHY MEAL PREP INSTANT POT® COOKBOOK page 134), and Indian Butter Chicken (THE HEALTHY MEAL PREP INSTANT POT® COOKBOOK page 138). When reheating cooked rice in the microwave or on the stovetop, add about 1 teaspoon of water per serving to keep it moist and prevent it from burning.

Easy, perfect, sticky rice
Best rice ive made
Very tasty
Followed recipe exactly as described, watery rice is the result 10/10 if you like soggy rice!
I did a 1 to 1 ratio of rice to water. So I cooked 2 cups of rice in 2 cups of water, and it came out just right.
Rice came out mushy. I recommend using the 1:1 ratio
My Instant Pot doesn’t have a “Manual” setting.
What should I use?
Sadia, the ‘Pressure Cook’ button is the manual on the newer models.
It was perfect but I added 1.25 cups of water per cup of rice
Hi SadiaLasVegas,
Pressure cook button and Manual are the same it has just been renamed to pressure cook.
Would i keep the instant pot on keep warm if i want to make the rice ahead of time and eat later ?
I bought a new duo nova 3 quart instant pot and it says to set for 8:00.. how do you do that.. do you use normal ,less or more in settings and how do you get 8 minutes
Too much water
Wasnt chewy at all, nicely cooked but Came out a bit wet. Will either reduce water or let it release naturally for a bit before i do quick release.
I usually go 1:1.1 rice/water. Cook 3 minutes and 10 minutes pressure decay. Added some salt and olive oil. Hasn’t failed me yet.
Made the fluffiest rice! I even changed it to three servings instead of six and it still came out amazing!
Maybe a tich less water next time. First impression was the rice was going to be mushy… But likely just soft and sticky, which was perfect with Indian food.
Great basic recipe for a novice like me. I used Trader Joes rice medley, added some frozen broccoli, seasoning, 2 cups of a water and veggie broth mixture, and set the timer for 10. Perfect.
Very good basic recipe. It came out perfect.
Perfect measurements
VERY sticky
Spot on measurements, really great rice.
This recipe is the best I’ve used out of several! It came out perfect – no hard bits and not mushy but just wonderful fluffy white basmati rice!
My question is – I need double the amount of a rice for a large family, do I just double the recipe? 4 cups rice to 6 cups of water? Also, does the cooking time change or anything?
Very sticky.
I have modified the recipe to 1:1 and only 6 mins of cooking time. Much better.
Best for eliminating lectins on pressure cooking.
This method ruined dinner. Mushy, wet rice was the result. I would go to the standard 1:1 ratio, at most, and cut the time by at least half.
Did they even try this recipe before putting it on the website? This recipe makes wet, mushy rice. Use a 1:1 ratio of water to rice.
It’s perfect….if you don’t follow this recipe. Use half the water this recipe recommends.
My IP has rice button. Works wonderfully. Rice comes out perfect every time. I use basmati rice. You may have to adjust water.
