Equipment

1 x Instant Pot 6-quart size

Ingredients

1 cup jasmine rice uncooked
½ pound boneless skinless chicken thighs
4 fresh ginger slices
9 cups water
1 teaspoon salt or more

Optional toppings

Tamari soy sauce
Thinly sliced scallions
Roasted white sesame
Fried garlic

Instructions

Rinse the rice and drain completely.
Place the rice, chicken thighs, ginger, and water in the Instant Pot.
Close the lid and make sure the vent is in the sealing position. Pressure cook on high for 30 minutes. Let the pressure come down naturally.
Open the lid and stir well. The meat falls apart as you mix. If you still see large chunks, use a fork to separate (you can do this inside the pot).
Adjust the texture by adding water little at a time, or by cooking down using sauté mode.
Season with salt.
Serve with toppings of your choice such as scallions, chili oil, toasted sesame and fried garlic.
