Microwave Rice Recipe – Dorm Room Friendly
Ingredients
-
1 cup jasmine rice
dry, uncooked
- 2 cups water
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
avocado oil
Steps
Step 1
Wash the rice with cold water using a strainer to remove excess starch. The water should run clear.
Add the rice to a microwaveable-safe bowl or container.
Step 2
Usually, there is a 2:1 ratio of water to rice, but I like to use the knuckle test. Touch the top of rice with your finger. Then fill the bowl with water until it reaches your knuckle. Works every time!
Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil, gently stir in and place the lid on.
Step 3
Place in the microwave with a lid with a vent on top, and cook for 9 – 10 minutes on high. Once it finishes cooking, if 90% of the water has been absorbed, place the lid back on top and set it aside to finish cooking with the steam.
If 60-70% of water remains, continue cooking for 4 – 6 minutes on low-medium.
Step 4
Once the cooking cycle has been completed, set the bowl aside to steam for 3 – 5 minutes.
Step 5
Fluff with a fork and enjoy!
