How To Cook Rice In Microwave

I am going to show you how to cook rice in the microwave. Very simple, so we have some Basmati rice. Just get your line about there, that is important, and you at least double the amount of water.

So you know, literally, I want to bring my water literally up to there, so three quarters the top, straight in. There are some rice that you need to wash off but this Basmati is okay. I can put it straight in the microwave; I will not have a problem with it.

I am going to put a little bit of salt into it, just give it a little bit of flavor. Depending on the microwave, I am going to put in, if for eight to ten minutes, and I will check it but it all depends how powerful your microwave is. Put on the lid, in the microwave now.

It is a good idea, halfway through, just to take it out and give it a good stir so, you know, to create even cooking and that will go on for ten minutes, and after five minutes as I said, I will take it out, stir it, throw it back in and keep checking it. It could be eight minutes; it could be ten minutes. It all depends, like I said, it all depends on the power of your microwave.

So I am just checking my rice, still quite a lot of liquid in there, so we are looking to have all that liquid evaporate really. Put that back in another five minutes and by then, the water will evaporate and our rice will be cooked. Just checking my rice, it has been here for an extra five minutes, really nice.

Again, as you can see, all the water is out, it evaporated into the rice and that is how I cook my rice in the microwave. |Ready to have some fun cooking rice?
