    Pressure Cooker Brown Jasmine Rice is a quick and healthy side dish in the Instant Pot or any other pressure cooker.

    I love food blogging - except when I weigh myself on Monday and Thursday mornings. Years ago I lost a lot of weight by cutting out processed starches and eating only whole grain carbs. That meant a lot of brown rice, because I love my stir fries and curries - they help me slip in a bunch of vegetables with my meat.

    There are two problems with brown rice.

    Problem one: cooking time. It takes a lot longer to cook brown rice - about an hour on the stovetop. That’s where my pressure cooker comes in; I can have brown rice in about a half an hour.

    Problem two: taste. In other words, my kids. They love the neutral taste of white rice. The first time I tried to serve them brown rice, with its strong, nutty flavor, they took one bite, then refused to eat an more. I would try brown rice every now and again, but they never liked it. That is, until I tried brown jasmine rice. The long grains cook up fluffier than most brown rices, and the flavor is close enough to white rice that they don’t mind it as the side dish with a stir fry or curry. I finally have a brown rice I can serve to the kids.

    Looking for a nutritious side dish, especially to balance out an Asian meal? Try some brown jasmine rice in the pressure cooker. (I love serving it with my Instant Pot Lentil Curry for a quick weeknight meal.)

    Notes

    • My favorite brand (so far) is Jasmati brand brown rice from Rice Select, but I have to admit, I don’t have too many choices for brown jasmine rice in my area. If you have a favorite brand, let us know in the comments.

      Thank you for this! We usually make brown rice in the instant pot with the same ratio of water and time. Our son brought us a couple of bags of brown jasmine rice to stock us up for sheltering in place, so this rice was new to us. Noticed right away that it filled the kitchen with a fragrant unique smell. It was delicious and perfectly cooked.

        You don't need to rinse brown rice because it hasn't been "polished", the step that removes the healthiest parts of the grain!
