Instant Pot Jasmine Rice is light, fluffy, and easy to make with just three ingredients. The Instant Pot cooks jasmine rice perfectly using a simple 1:1 ratio of rice to water, making it an easy side dish for weeknight meals.

I make jasmine rice in the Instant Pot when I want a hands-off side dish without watching a pot on the stove. It’s also great to make ahead for fried rice or to pair with chicken, beef, and other easy dinners.
