Wheat Free Instant Pot Jasmine Rice
Fluffy, fragrant jasmine rice is one of those side dishes that quietly makes every meal better, and the Instant Pot takes all the guesswork out of getting it right. Jasmine rice is naturally free of wheat and gluten, so there are no swaps or substitutions needed here — just clean, simple ingredients you can feel good about. Rinsing the rice until the water runs clear is a small step that pays off big, removing excess starch so each grain stays light and distinct rather than clumping together. The combination of high-pressure cooking and a natural pressure release is what gives you that perfectly tender, never-mushy texture every single time. A touch of butter or neutral oil is optional, but it adds a subtle richness that makes the rice taste like it came from a restaurant. Fork-fluff it from the bottom before serving and you'll get those beautifully separated grains that pair well with everything from grilled proteins to saucy stir-fries.
