Rice Made Easy (Microwave)

I have had lots of different people teaching me how to cook, and i have always love watching people cook, you pick up so many tips and ideas from their ways and kitchens.  So out of my kitchen this is how i cook rice...yes it's not the tradisional way, but it works for me...and i can spice it as much as i want and make it different every time.


So here we go:


What do you need:


Rice
Little bit of oil
Water
Spice (what ever you want)

1.  Pour in about a 1 or 2 of rice, depends how much you want to make, in to a big glass bowl.  Drizzle a bit of oil over the uncooked rice, sprinkle your spice.  I did some chicken spice, herbs, salt & pepper.  At the bottom of the blog I will list some other ideas of what to do with rice.

2. Pour in about 1 litre of water, as you can see in the picture, the water really covers the uncooked rice...This is so that the rice can "eat up" the water and they will double in size....hope this make sense.  Into the microwave it goes, with the lid on of course for about 20 to 25 minutes on high.  I always first put it on 25 minutes....it can't burn so don't worry....but you can keep a watchfull eye for your first time.

3.  All the water should be gone, when you take it out of the microwave, if there is any water left you can pour the cooked rice in a strainer and strain the water...Your done, with no mess and no fuss

Enjoy
