GERD Friendly Instant Pot Jasmine Rice
Fluffy, fragrant jasmine rice is one of those reliable staples that pairs beautifully with almost any protein or vegetable, and the Instant Pot makes it genuinely foolproof. For anyone managing acid reflux or a sensitive stomach, plain rice is one of the most soothing, low-acid foods you can eat — and this recipe keeps things clean and simple with just a handful of ingredients. Rinsing the rice before cooking removes excess starch, which helps each grain stay light and separate rather than turning heavy or gummy. The natural pressure-release step is key here: it lets the rice finish cooking gently without getting waterlogged, giving you that perfectly tender, non-sticky result every time. A small amount of neutral oil or unsalted butter is entirely optional, so you can easily keep the fat content as low as you need to. No garlic, no onion, no tomato, no citrus — just clean, comforting grains that are easy on the digestive system and genuinely delicious alongside whatever else is on the plate.
