Ingredients
- 1 cup jasmine rice
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 cup pineapple juice
- 1/2 cup diced fresh pineapple
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- Fresh cilantro for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Start by rinsing the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch and ensures fluffy rice.
- In your Instant Pot, combine the rinsed rice, coconut milk, pineapple juice, diced pineapple, lime juice, lime zest, and salt. Stir to combine all the ingredients well.
- Close the lid of the Instant Pot and ensure the valve is set to the sealing position. Select the manual setting and cook on high pressure for 5 minutes.
- Once the cooking time is complete, let the pressure release naturally for about 10 minutes, then carefully switch the valve to venting to release any remaining steam.
- Open the lid and fluff the rice with a fork. The rice should be perfectly cooked and infused with tropical flavors.
- Transfer the rice to a serving bowl and garnish with fresh cilantro if desired. Serve warm as a delightful side dish or a base for your favorite proteins or vegetables.
