Easy Microwave Rice

2021-05-19

Jump To Recipe Print Recipe

This recipe has served me faithfully for many years

It is so easy to make. You can make it quickly while preparing the main course or as a meal by adding, tofu, green peas, corn, or carrots.

All you need is a microwave cooking pot (with a lid with vents), jasmine or basmati rice, boiling water, oil, salt, and fresh lemon juice (lemon juice is optional, but it contributes to the fluffy texture as well as the taste).

Rinse the rice well – until clean water without starch is obtained, add the boiling water and the rest of the ingredients. Mix well. Close the pot with a lid (make sure the holes are open – to release the steam) and cook in the microwave on high power for 12 – 15 minutes, depending on the power of your microwave.

Open carefully (hot stem!), stir with two forks – ready!

Enjoy, and let me know how it turned out ❣️
