What Types Of Dishes Are Best Made With Instant Pot Jasmine Rice?

Jasmine Rice is a long-grain type of fragrant white rice. It's a moist and soft rice when cooked and it has a slightly sweet taste. The rice grains cling to each other and are sticky when they're cooked. It's very popular in Southeast Asian recipes.

Not only is jasmine rice a great rice as a side dish for a meal, but it's particularly good for recipes like my Pressure Cooker Chicken Congee or my Pressure Cooker Shrimp Risotto.

Can You Freeze Jasmine Rice?

Yes, you absolutely can freeze Instant Pot Jasmine Rice! However, the sooner you freeze the cooked rice after you've prepared it the better. The sooner you pack it into airtight containers and seal it, the more moisture the rice will retain when you reheat it.

Here's how:

• Cool. Let rice cool to room temperature.
• Pack. Add your desired serving size to a ziptop freezer bag.
• Lay Flat. Store flat in a thin layer so it can defrost quickly.
• Date. Rice can be frozen for up to a month and still be delicious. Make sure you date it to keep frozen rice tasty.
• Freeze. Store in your freezer for a quick dinner.

Once frozen, the rice should keep in the freezer for about a month. Any longer than that and the rice will begin to lose its flavor and moisture.

How Do I Reheat Jasmine Rice?

Reheating Instant Pot Jasmine Rice is as simple as adding a tablespoon of water to the rice and reheating it in the microwave.

Microwave cook time can vary depending on how much you're reheating, so just reheat it in 30-60 second intervals until it's heated through.

Do I Need To Soak Jasmine Rice Before Cooking It?

That's actually the great thing about Instant Pot Jasmine Rice. There is no need to soak the rice before adding it to your electric pressure cooker.

The steam and the heat of the pressure cooker will help the rice grains cook up very well without any presoaking, even with congees and other rice that typically gets soaked.

Just a quick rinse to get rid of the excess starch and you're ready to start cooking the perfect rice.
