MICROWAVE FRIED RICE



Microwave Fried Rice image

FRIED RICE (NOT!) Thats what my kids call this!! I got this recipe from my friend Bev, and it is a quick and easy side dish, that can be padded out with a few more veggies. I would suggest that you dont "muck around" with this too much the first time you make it, as I have tried to be too clever and it hasnt worked out as well!!! having said that, I have to say I usually add garlic and ginger, and I am sure you have a favorite ingredient you would like to add :)

Tips:

  • Use day-old rice for the best texture. Freshly cooked rice will be too moist and sticky.
  • Chop your vegetables into small, even pieces so that they cook evenly.
  • Use a large microwave-safe bowl to cook the rice. This will help to prevent the rice from becoming dry.
  • Cook the rice in short bursts, stirring in between each burst. This will help to prevent the rice from overcooking.
  • Add the vegetables and sauce to the rice and microwave for a few more minutes, or until the vegetables are tender and the sauce is heated through.
  • Serve the fried rice immediately with your favorite toppings, such as green onions, sesame seeds, or a fried egg.

Conclusion:

Microwave fried rice is a quick and easy way to make a delicious and healthy meal. With just a few simple ingredients and a few minutes in the microwave, you can have a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
