Microwave Rice Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Place all ingredients in a large glass measuring or any microwave safe bowl. Note: the rice expands during cooking, so be sure to choose a container that is large enough. Microwave on high, uncovered, for 10 minutes. Microwave on medium-low, uncovered, for 15 minutes. Do not stir the rice at any time during the cooking process. Season with salt and fluff with a fork just before serving.

Steps:

• Rinse uncooked rice off in strainer unser cold water, until water runs clear.
• I actually put rice in a jug of water let sit a few minutes stir and then strain off.
• In a microwave safe bowl add crumbled stock cube, rice and butter.
• Microwave rice for 3 minutes, remove and stir so as stock cube and butter dissolves, and mixes inches.
• Place bowl with a cover in microwave for 8 minutes on high, when finished remove and leave rice stand (untouched) for 10 minutes. The rice should be perfectly cooked after standing.
• Now add extra ingredients, and seasoning's and serve cold or hot ~
• Frozen peas and onions can be microwaved for a few minutes if adding.
• Other ingredients I have added or substituted are (drained no added water to the mix). I always use onions to the mix and usually boiled eggs diced.
• Pineapple.
• Cooked chicken.
• Tuna
• Capsicum (diced).
• Shallots (diced finely).
• Carrots (diced).
• Beans (diced).
• Small cooked prawns (diced).
• Saffron (1/4 teaspoon) for colour (makes salad yellow in colour) The list is endless as to what you can use, just make sure the ingredients dont carry too much water to make rice gluggy!
