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. 

Making Ninja Foodi rice is simple really. But if you’re new to making any Ninja Foodi recipes then this will be quite helpful. We make brown and white rice several times a week. Whether we’re serving it plain with butter on top for a snack or with chicken or beef served on top it’s a cheap dish we love.

• Ninja Foodi rice directions are the same as our Instant Pot white rice. In this post we’re sharing how to make fluffy brown rice too.

It is versatile, naturally gluten free, and brown rice has fiber in it which we all need.

Here are a few resources to start with:

• You can grab a free recipe book too here. 😉
• You’ll find more Ninja Foodi air fryer recipes here too.

Tips for making the perfect pressure cooker rice

2. Keep track of timing when it is done
   1. Do an immediate quick release for white rice
   2. Allow brown rice to naturally release steam for 5 minutes, then release the rest immediately after tha
   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.
   5. Serve immediately for best results
