Ingredients

  • 2 cup water
  • 1 cup rice
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions

  • Good rice takes a little prep, but a rinse of white rice is really important. I make a point to rinse and change the water at least 5 times over the course of a few minutes. See how cloudy it is initially.

  • Once rinsed, the rice in the water should be nice and clear

  • Put the rice and the 2 cups of water in the air fryer along with the salt. These measurements may vary depending on the amount of rice. Go for the 2 to 1 ratio as a guide (2 measures of water to 1 measure of rice)
    Quick Tip: Use boiling/hot water from the kettle to go into the Ninja Foodi to get the pressure steam building up quicker.

  • Seal the top of the Ninja Foodi by moving the top dial to SEAL to use the pressure cooker.

  • Put the lever into pressure cooker mode. Switch it all on and set the temperature (to High) and the time. I go for somewhere between 2 and 4 minutes. You may want to experiment with timings depending on the type of rice you use.
  • Once cooked, release the pressure on the Ninja Foodi by turning the valve back to VENT. Then allow the pressure to drop and then you can serve.

Notes

The Ninja Foodi takes time to build steam in pressure cooker mode. This can take up to 10 minutes but it can be sped up by using hot water.
