Ingredients
Units Scale
- 1 cup Basmati rice (180 g)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups of water (480 ml)
Instructions
- First, rinse the rice until the water runs clear. Place the rice, salt, and cold water in a microwave-safe bowl.
- Next, cover the bowl with a lid or cling wrap, and put it in the microwave on medium heat for 8–10 minutes.
- Remove it from the microwave. If it is still wet, cook for another 1-2 minutes. Take off the lid or cling wrap, stir with a fork, and serve hot.
Notes
NOTE: Cup sizes may vary; be sure to use the same cup when measuring water. Depending on the microwave wattage, if the rice is still wet, put it back in the microwave for a further 1-2 minutes. To give your rice extra flavor you can also add stock to the water before placing it in the microwave.
