Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. Drain the rice thoroughly.
  3. Combine the rinsed rice with 1+3/4 cups of boiling water in a microwave-safe bowl.
  4. Place a plate over the bowl and set another plate underneath to catch any potential water leaks during cooking.
  5. Microwave it on high for 10 minutes.
  6. After microwaving, fluff the rice, cover the bowl again, and microwave for other 3 minutes.
  7. 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).
