Ingredients:

250g long-grain white rice (basmati rice is good)
600ml boiling water

Method:

Wash the rice thoroughly and drain then pour into a 3l glass or ceramic microwave-safe dish. Pour in the boiling water and stir to combine then cover with a vented microwave-safe lid (or use clingfilm [plastic wrap] with a hole poked in the centre).

Place in your microwave and cook on high power for 5 minutes, or until the liquid is boiling. Reduce the power to 30% and cook for 14 minutes.

Remove the dish from the oven and set aside to stand for 5 minutes (keep the lid on).

Fluff the rice lightly with a fork then serve.
