Recipe instructions

Step 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%.

Step 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.

Step 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 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.

Step 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.

Step 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 everyoneʼs microwave is different and the power and time may vary significantly.

Step 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.
