Perfect Rice Every Time (Microwave)

Submitted by ajenas kitchen

"I found this one on the back of a bag of long grain rice some time ago, and have used it ever since. It always comes out perfect,and I can be doing something else while it is cooking. Plain, or with your own herbs and spices, this will probably become a staple in your kitchen as it has ours!"

 

• Ready In: 42mins
• Ingredients: 3
• Serves: 12

ingredients

• 3 cups long grain rice
• 6 cups water

directions

1. Place three cups uncooked rice in a large microwave safe bowl. Using cold water, rinse the rice until the water runs clear.

I loved it! It was so easy and fast. I also used basmatti rice and halfed the butter, and I also added a dash of salt. It was cooked in 7 minutes in full power and 10 in the 50% power. I don't now maybe my microwave oven is stronger or the rice different? But I loved, I sometimes really enjoy a plain white rice, and this cooking method is so fast. Thanks, Ajena!
