Microwaved wholemeal basmati rice
Honestly, not much quicker if doing this for two people. But not having to stand over the hob and drain out the rice when there is just one person cooking: priceless.
Ingredients
- 120g wholemeal basmati rice.
- 240ml boiling water.
Directions
To scale up, see table below. The times are critical, as is the quantity of water, as basmati rice soaks up the water as it cooks.
For 120g rice
- In a litre jug, pour 240ml boiling water on 120g rice.
- Cover with a vented lid.
- Heat @ 1000W for 5 minutes.
- Heat @ 600W for 9 minutes.
- Stand for 5 minutes.
- Fluff with a fork and serve.
The real beauty is it is hands off cooking. Set up the pot in the microwave and you don't even need to drain the rice.
