Instructions
- Rinse the rice in a bowl of water, swirling with your hand, and draining. Repeat this process 2 to 3 times until the water appears clear.
- Drain the rice thoroughly.
- Combine the rinsed rice with 1+3/4 cups of boiling water in a microwave-safe bowl.
- Place a plate over the bowl and set another plate underneath to catch any potential water leaks during cooking.
- Microwave it on high for 10 minutes.
- After microwaving, fluff the rice, cover the bowl again, and microwave for other 3 minutes.
- Remove the rice from the microwave and allow it to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Troubleshooting:
- Rice still hard? Add 1 tbsp water, microwave 2 more mins.
- Mushy rice? Reduce water by 1 tbsp next time.
- Scorched base? Reduce cook time for powerful microwaves (higher than 700W).
