Perfect Jasmine Rice

The classic. Rinse 2 cups of jasmine rice until the water runs clear. Add to the inner pot with 2.4 cups of cold water and a pinch of salt. Select White Rice and press Start. In about 25 minutes, you'll have perfectly fluffy, individual grains with a subtle floral aroma. Fluff with the included spatula and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

• Add a teaspoon of coconut oil to the water for extra fragrance.
• A pandan leaf in the water transforms jasmine rice into something extraordinary.

Silky Congee (Rice Porridge)

Add 1 cup of jasmine rice and 6 cups of water or chicken broth to the inner pot. Select the Porridge setting. The SpeediChef will slowly break down the rice over about 45 minutes into a silky, comforting congee. Top with sliced ginger, green onions, a soft-boiled egg, and a drizzle of sesame oil. This is the ultimate comfort food for cold mornings or when you're feeling under the weather.

• Use chicken broth instead of water for a richer, more savory congee.
• Add a small piece of ginger directly to the pot while cooking for subtle warmth.

One-Pot Chicken and Rice

Season bone-in chicken thighs with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Place 2 cups of rice and 2 cups of chicken broth in the inner pot. Nestle the seasoned chicken thighs on top. Select the Stew function. The chicken will braise in the steam while the rice absorbs the savory broth below, creating a deeply flavored one-pot meal. Garnish with fresh parsley and a squeeze of lemon.

• Use bone-in thighs — they stay juicier than breasts in the moist heat.
• Add a handful of frozen peas in the last 5 minutes for color and nutrition.

Steamed Salmon with Vegetables

Cook 2 cups of white rice in the inner pot as normal. Place salmon fillets in the steamer basket, season with soy sauce, ginger, and sesame oil. Add broccoli florets and sliced carrots around the salmon. Start the White Rice cycle — by the time the rice is done, your salmon will be perfectly steamed and your vegetables tender-crisp. A complete, nutritious dinner in one cycle.

• Don't overcook the salmon — check it at the 15-minute mark.
• A drizzle of ponzu sauce over the finished dish is incredible.
