Frequently Asked Questions
Why rinse the jasmine rice before pressure cooking?
Rinsing removes surface powder starch so the rice grains cook evenly without clumping on the bottom of the pot, preventing the Instant Pot BURN warning.
Will the soup thicken as it sits in the fridge?
Yes. Rice continues absorbing liquid over time. When reheating leftover soup the next day, stir in 1/2 cup extra chicken broth or water to return it to soup consistency.
Can I use chicken thighs instead of breasts?
Yes. Boneless skinless chicken thighs become exceptionally tender under pressure. Cook for the same 8 minutes on High Pressure with a 10-minute natural release.
