Equipment

Ninja Foodi with pressure cooker function

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.
