Equipment

Ingredients

  • 3 cups white jasmine rice
  • 3 cups water

Optional

  • 3/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • Place 3 cups of rice into the Ninja Foodi pot. 
  • Add 3 cups of water and salt if using, then lightly press down the rice to make sure it is all covered with water. Do not stir. Uncovered rice will NOT cook.
  • Place the pressure cook lid on securely and set the valve to seal and set the time to pressure cooker to 4 minutes.
  • Once the timer goes off, let the cooker natural release for 10 minutes, then carefully move the valve to vent to make sure all of the steam has been released.
  • Remove the lid and fluff rice with a spoon or spatula.

Notes

  • Cover all the rice with water so every grain cooks evenly. Press any stray grains under with a spoon because otherwise, they won’t cook.
  • Salt the rice before cooking so the grains absorb flavor from the start.
  • To measure, use a dry measuring cup for the rice and a liquid measuring cup for the water to get the best results.
  • To avoid any rice sticking to the pot, transfer the rice to a serving dish as soon as it’s done cooking.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
  • Reheat leftovers in the microwave with a little splash of water for a minute or two. Make sure it is hot, then let it cool slightly.
