Instructions

  1. Remove your refrigerated rice and place it in a microwave safe bowl. Break apart some of the larger pieces of rice so that it heats evenly and faster.
  2. Sprinkle the water throughout the rice.
  3. Cover with a towel or microwave safe lid. Place in the microwave and cook on high for two minutes or until an instant-read (or laser) thermometer says 165 ℉.
  4. Remove the towel, being careful of the steam and enjoy!
