The microwave gives satisfying, fluffy rice right every time. It's quicker than using a rice steamer, but produces similar effects. You can use any white rice, from quick-cook to jasmine or basmati (brown rice can still take up to 30 minutes to cook).

Ingredients:

Rice
Water

Method:

Rinse the rice until the water runs clear. This removes some of the excess starch that can makes it go sticky.

Pour over enough cold water to cover the rice by 2.5cm (1 inch) (or roughly to the first knuckle on your index finger).

Microwave for 10–12 minutes, checking after 6–7 minutes to see if it needs more water.

Drain any excess water, fluff the rice and serve.
