Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup long-grain white rice (jasmine or basmati also fine)
  • 1 cup water (or halal chicken/vegetable broth)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon neutral oil or butter (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Rinse the rice in a fine mesh strainer under cold water until the water runs mostly clear; drain well.
  • Add rinsed rice, water (or broth), salt, and oil or butter (if using) to the Instant Pot. Gently shake the pot to level the grains.
  • Lock the lid and set the valve to Sealing. Select Pressure Cook (Manual) on High for 4 minutes for white, jasmine, or basmati rice.
  • When the cook time ends, allow a natural pressure release for 10 minutes, then carefully switch the valve to Venting to release remaining steam.
  • Open the lid, fluff the rice with a fork or rice paddle, taste, and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve warm.
  • For brown rice variation: use 1 cup brown rice to 1 1/4 cups water or broth; cook 22–24 minutes on High, then natural release 10 minutes.
