Crispy rice in the microwave

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 25 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make fluffy rice in the microwave? Prepare all the necessary products. Pay special attention to rice. It can be round-grain or long-grain, but it must be from a reliable manufacturer. An article on this topic will help you in Choosing Rice; the link is at the end of this recipe. Use natural butter with a fat content of at least 82%. Read about the important nuances of cooking in the microwave in the article, link at the end of the recipe.

2. STEP 2

   

   In order for the rice to turn out crumbly, the starch must be washed off from it. Therefore, rinse the rice very well using a sieve and plenty of running water. Rinse until the water runs clear from the rice.

3. STEP 3

   

   Prepare the container in which you will cook the rice. For this purpose today we will use a microwave oven. Modern ovens are such that you can not only heat food in them, but also cook full-fledged meals. But there is one caveat: not every dish is suitable for the microwave. Glass, ceramic and porcelain are perfect. But under no circumstances take metal or utensils with a gilded pattern.

4. STEP 4

   

   Place the washed rice in a deep bowl and fill the rice with clean filtered water. For 1 cup of rice, take 2 cups of water. Salt the water. Rice takes up a lot of salt, so use a little more salt for rice than for other dishes.

5. STEP 5

   

   Cover with a special lid for cooking in the microwave. Place in the microwave, I cooked at maximum power (1000) for 7 minutes. Then reduce the microwave power to minimum (usually 400-600) and cook the rice for another 10-12 minutes. This way the rice will absorb all the water and become ready. Remember that everyone's microwave is different and the power and time may vary significantly.

6. STEP 6

   

   Rice cooks quickly in the microwave. This is how it turned out. Keep in mind that the rice will increase in volume, so immediately take a deeper bowl.

7. STEP 7

   

   Add butter to cooked rice.

8. STEP 8

   

   Stir until smooth.

9. STEP 9

   

   Serve as a side dish for any type of dish or use to make salads. Bon appetit!

I really like recipes like microwave fluffy rice; you can cook many different dishes in the microwave. And most importantly, you don’t have to stand at the stove, just set the mode. I needed a side dish of rice for dinner, but there was no way to cook it on the stove. I dared to try it) To prepare it, I took a tall plastic pan, it is designed just for the microwave. I know that rice foams a lot when boiling, so the high sides saved my equipment from an avalanche of rice) I cooked one glass of cereal, poured two glasses of water. My microwave has a lower power, so I just cooked it a little longer. After the first stage, I mixed the rice and set it to finish cooking. The end result was a wonderful side dish. The rice completely absorbed the water and increased in size. And butter made its taste more delicate and creamy. This is a great way to cook rice, I will use it now.

As a side dish for the meat, I cooked fluffy rice in the microwave. Very simple and fast! I cooked it in a special plastic mold for cooking rice in the microwave. In terms of time, my side dish was prepared just like the author’s (first 7 minutes, then 12 - but at the same power, I didn’t reduce it). During this time, the water was completely absorbed, the rice was cooked perfectly: rice to rice! Thanks to the author for the recipe!
