Spice Free Instant Pot Jasmine Rice
Fluffy, fragrant, and endlessly versatile, jasmine rice is one of those staples that belongs in every home cook's rotation. The Instant Pot takes all the guesswork out of it — no more lifting the lid to check, no scorched bottom, no gummy clumps. Rinsing the rice first is a small step that makes a real difference, washing away excess starch so every grain comes out light and separate. With just water, salt, and an optional touch of butter or neutral oil, this recipe is as clean and simple as it gets — nothing hidden, nothing unnecessary. That makes it a genuinely great fit for anyone avoiding spices, since there are zero seasonings beyond a pinch of kosher salt. The natural pressure release does the heavy lifting, letting the rice steam itself to that perfectly tender, slightly sticky texture jasmine is known for. Serve it alongside whatever you're making and watch it disappear.
