MICROWAVE MIXED RICE

Leftovers are the simplest thing to take to work for lunch. Sometimes you just end up with them. But if you are planning ahead you can cook a little more than you are going to eat at dinner so you have the makings of the next day's lunch. This combination of cooked rice, vegetables and meat can accompany virtually any sauce you can imagine putting on it: vinaigrette, sesame dipping sauce, tahini sauce, pico de gallo, onion chutney, pesto, hummus. Simply pop it in the office microwave for a couple of minutes and eat.

PERFECT EASY MICROWAVE RICE



Perfect Easy Microwave Rice image

I got this recipe with the cookbook that came with my first Microwave and I've been using it ever since! The rice comes out perfect every time. No muss, no fuss and can be served in the casserole dish you cooked it in. You can also use this method for brown rice but increase your cooking time a little.

Tips:

  • Use a microwave-safe bowl: This will prevent the bowl from cracking or melting in the microwave.
  • Add enough water: The rice needs enough water to cook properly. If you don't add enough water, the rice will be dry and hard.
  • Cook the rice for the correct amount of time: The cooking time will vary depending on the type of rice you are using. Be sure to check the package instructions for the correct cooking time.
  • Let the rice stand before serving: This will allow the rice to absorb any remaining water and become fluffy.
  • Fluff the rice with a fork before serving: This will help to separate the grains of rice and make it light and fluffy.

Conclusion:

Microwave mixed rice is a quick and easy way to cook rice. It is a great option for busy weeknights or when you don't have a lot of time to cook. Microwave mixed rice can be used in a variety of dishes, such as stir-fries, soups, and casseroles. It is also a great side dish for grilled or roasted chicken or fish.
