Notes
Jasmine Rice does not need soaking simply rinse well and drain
Once you open the Instant Pot lid, transfer the inner pot to a trivet on your counter. This stops the rice from cooking further and helps prevent the rice from getting mushy
If the rice looks uncooked, simply put the inside insert back in, close the Instant Pot and allow the rice to sit for 5 minutes. The remnant heat will further cook the rice
Do not mix the rice when it's steaming hot, this will start breaking the grains. Allow the rice to cool a bit and then gently fluff up using a silicone spatula
If you are making rice ahead for a party, simply allow the rice to cool. You can even take it out in a large tray, cool it down, feel free to use your hands to separate the grains gently. If the grain seems sticky simply wet your hands with cold water and it will allow to separate the grains. Reheat in the microwave, oven or chaffing dish when ready to serve
