Notes
- If you are using jasmine rice for this recipe, cook for 4 minutes with an 8-10 minute natural pressure release.
- For white rice or basmati, cook for 4 minutes with a quick pressure release.
- If you like your white rice (not jasmine) to be firmer, cook for 2 minutes, with a quick pressure release.
- To make yellow rice recipes using brown rice, you’ll need a longer cooking time. Follow the timing in this Instant Pot Brown Rice recipe instead.
