Aha!!! How to Cook Rice in a Microwave

Great, easy microwaved rice without sticking or messy clean-up

Steps

1. Select a deep microwave dish with a cover.
2. The ratio is what's important: 1 unit rice, 2 units water. For example: 1/2 cup of rice, add 1 cup of cold water; 1 cup of rice, add 2 cups of cold water.
3. Place in the microwave on maximum heat (IE. 900 Watts) for 10 minutes without the lid.
4. Then stir, cover with the lid and place in the microwave for an additional 3 minutes until all water is absorbed.
5. Remove from microwave and let stand a few minutes before fluffing with a fork.
6. You can add salt or butter before cooking if you wish, or cook the rice in chicken or other stock instead of water.

Tips

• Can be reheated on an appropriate setting - which means that if you are making curry and plan to serve it later, the rice can be pre-prepared.
• Adding a teaspoon of vinegar (any kind) would make it fluffier -don't worry- it won't leave any sour taste.
• A little saffron added gives it a very nice color and flavor.
