Equipment
- microwave safe bowl
- microwave
Ingredients
- rice
- water
- pinch of salt
Instructions
- Place the rice in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse it under cold running water until the water runs clear. This step removes excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming too sticky.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, add the rinsed rice and pour in the water. Add a pinch of salt if desired for seasoning.
- Place a microwave-safe lid on the bowl, or if the bowl doesn't have a lid, cover it with a microwave-safe plate.
- Place the covered bowl in the microwave and cook on high power for 5 minutes.
- After 5 minutes, carefully remove the bowl from the microwave and give the rice a gentle stir with a fork to ensure even cooking and prevent sticking.
- Place the covered bowl back in the microwave and cook on 50% power (medium) for another 5-10 minutes, depending on your microwave wattage and the desired texture of the rice.
- Check the rice at the 5-minute mark to see if it's fully cooked. If not, continue microwaving in 1-minute increments until it reaches the desired tenderness.
- Once the rice is cooked to perfection, remove it from the microwave, keeping the cover on, and let it sit for a few minutes. This resting period allows the rice to steam and become fluffier.
- After the resting time, use a fork to fluff the rice gently.
- Serve the steaming hot microwave rice as a delightful side dish to complement a variety of main courses
