Perfect Rice Every Time (Microwave)

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: 42 mins
• Serves: 12

Ingredients

• 3  cups long grain rice
• 6  cups water
• 2  tablespoons butter (optional)

Directions

1. Place three cups uncooked rice in a large microwave safe bowl. Using cold water, rinse the rice until the water runs clear.
2. I use a small spoon to swirl the rice in the water. Once the water is clear, drain the rice.
3. Add 6 cups fresh water to the rice, and the butter if using. Add any additional seasonings of your choice.
4. Microwave uncovered full power(100%) for 15 minutes. Do not remove bowl from oven. Microwave uncovered at 50% power an additional 20 minutes.
5. Remove bowl from oven. Cover and let stand an additional 5 minutes. Fluff with a fork.
