Mirjs Foolproof Microwave Rice Perfect Every Time 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:

• Put rice in a micro-safe bowl.
• Add water.
• Swirl for 2 seconds.
• Add salt.
• Swirl again.
• Cover with vented plastic wrap or a loose plastic cover.
• Nuke on high for 12 minutes.
• Let rest for 5 minutes.
• Dump rice into a strainer and rinse under cold water.
• Place in micro-safe serving dish (or back in the rinsed out bowl), add seasonings to taste (onion soup mix, salt and pepper, hot chilles, whatever you like in your rice) and heat on medium for 5 minutes until it reaches desired serving temperature.
• If the rice is going to be part of a salad, you can use it straight away.
• This makes perfect,"every grain separate" rice, every time!

Steps:

• Using a 2 quart casserole dish with lid, put rice, hot water, butter and salt in dish. Stir. (I put my casserole dish on a plate in the micro as sometimes the water boils over a little. Saves cleanup after).
• Cover, and microwave on high power 5 minutes. Stir with fork (careful watch the steam!)
• Cover and put back in microwave and cook on medium this time for 15 minutes.
• Remove lid (careful again!) and fluff with fork.
• Let stand 2-3 minutes.
• Serve.
