I microwave rice or noodles with water to make them perfect.
That isn't normal? I thought that was common leftovers knowledge, lol
Leftovers maybe, but I'm referring to the first time cooking it. I've had lots of strange looks for it.
The bag of medium grain rice i have had microwave instructions on it. I hate using a microwave so I've never done it but seems like you aren't alone
I need some more info on this. So you have uncooked rice and put it with with water in the microwave to cook it?
Yeah so I take a microwave safe bowl. Two cups of rice, and four cups of water. Microwave on high for ten minutes, stir it. Another ten minutes depending on how it looks. Comes out perfect most of the time. I have the best results with Jasmine rice but it works with regular too.
I do five minutes on high, 12-15 on medium.
using a microwave is the only way I can actually cook rice perfectly. I don't own a rice cooker and stovetop is just a sticky mess
It only takes me 18 minutes on the stove top. How can the microwave take longer?
