Fluffy Ninja Foodi Rice

Ninja Foodi rice both brown and white is easy to make! Here are tips on how to make the best pressure cooker rice so it’s done fluffy every single time. 

Rice in Ninja Foodi

It is a versatile side dish, naturally gluten free, and Ninja Foodi brown rice has fiber in it which we all need. I will share both of these and instructions for them below. The recipe card below is for white long grain rice. I like Jasmine as well and will work for that as well.

If you don’t make this on a weekly basis we may not be able to be friends. 😉 Just kidding, it is just on our meal planning often because it was something my mom cooked with dinner almost every single night growing up.

Since this time we have perfected pressure cooker brown rice and Ninja Foodi wild rice too. I don’t make this quite as often as white is our favorite. I like to offer all 3 versions though for you since it is nice to rotate between them throughout the week. With fish I might choose the wild variety for texture.

Plain with just a pat of butter on it would be my youngest daughter’s favorite after school snack. She makes it all by herself now that she is a teenager. Follow our directions and it will come out great every time. I will say it is more tender and fluffy than I’ve ever had it at a restaurant.

I will admit that we make white rice in the pressure cooker 90% of the time. My kids prefer that, and I kinda’ do too.

I am however trying to eat healthier and brown rice is on my radar to integrate into my diet more often.

• Using the timing below to make Ninja Foodi rice will ensure that you’ll have fluffy white or brown rice every single time!

Tips for making the perfect pressure cooker rice

1. After combining your rice and water stir them together
2. Keep track of timing when it is done
   1. Do a 10 minute natural release for white rice
   2. Allow brown rice to naturally release steam for 5 minutes, then release the rest immediately after that
   3. Fluff when done
   4. Turn pot off when done. I even transfer it to a serving bowl so it doesn’t continue to cook in the pot.

Serve immediately for best results.
