How to Cook Rice in a Microwave
Report
Microwaveable rice is perfect for those who don't have a rice cooker at home or want to stand in front of a stove and cook rice. This hands off method is just as quick as making rice in a rice cooker!

Ingredients
Long grain rice
- 2 c long grain rice
- 3 c water
Medium grain rice
- 2 c medium grain rice
- 2 ⅔ c water
Short grain rice
- 2 c short grain rice
- 2 ½ c water
Instructions
- Measure your rice and rinse under running water. I like to use a strainer so it’s faster. Add the rice into your microwavable bowl.
- Measure your water and add to the microwavable bowl.
- Place the bowl inside the microwave and microwave on high for ten minutes.
- Then, open your microwave to check on the rice. The water should now have evaporated a bit and lowered to be matching the level of the rice. If there is too much water, remove some so the rice barely peeks through the top of the water.
- Take a dish towel and cover your bowl and continue to microwave at half power for 15 minutes.
- Then, leave the rice to rest for five minutes.
- Carefully remove the rice bowl with oven mitts or towels and fluff the rice to make sure it’s evenly cooked. Serve and enjoy!
