- Just microwave the rice, uncovered, for exactly 10 minutes.
- Do not mix the rice in these 10 minutes.
- Do not disturb it.
- Let the RICE GODDESS WORK HER MAGIC on every single grain.
- Once 10 minutes are up, let the rice sit for 2 minutes before you open the microwave and take out the cooked rice.
- Mix well and serve it right off the plate.
- If its not gone in 30 seconds, I'll change my name!
