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).
