Ready in 8 minutes! <\/u><\/strong>How to Cook Rice in the Microwave <\/u><\/strong>If you live alone and find yourself with no leftovers and suddenly need rice,
cooking it can feel like a real headache.<\/p>\n

Luckily, your microwave is a secret lifesaver. With just a microwave, you can have steaming, freshly cooked rice in no time.
No need for store-bought microwave rice\u2014here\u2019s a simple way to make plain rice at home using your microwave.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

What you’ll need <\/u><\/strong>Water, 100 g of rice (about 1\/2 cup or 3.5 oz), a microwave-safe rice bowl, <\/u><\/strong>and two microwave-safe plates! <\/u><\/strong>Use a wide bowl
so the rice won\u2019t boil over in the microwave.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

# How to measure 100 g <\/strong><\/p>\n

A measuring cup is handy, but if you don\u2019t have one, a small cup or half a coffee mug works well. You can also use about 2\/3 of a paper cup\u2014close enough for one serving.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

# How to add water<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rinse the rice about three times, then soak it for at least 10 minutes. Soaking isn\u2019t mandatory, but it makes the rice softer and tastier. For water, fill until it reaches the first knuckle of your little finger above the rice level.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

# How to cook<\/strong><\/p>\n

Before microwaving, place a plate under the bowl and another plate over it.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

For a 700W microwave, heat the rice for 4 minutes. Let it rest for 1 minute, then microwave again for 3 minutes. Let it rest for another minute\u2014and you\u2019re done.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The microwave will be full of steam\u2014so satisfying.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Ta-da\u2014glossy, steaming rice ready in just 8 minutes!<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Dig in right away\u2014it\u2019s delicious plain.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Freshly cooked rice is so good that even wrapping it in a sheet of nori (seaweed) makes it next-level.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
