Introduction
Use a microwave-safe container to quickly cook fluffy, distinct grains of rice in just 13 minutes of total microwave time. Perfect for those living alone or when you need rice in a pinch. The cooked rice is also ideal for making fried rice.
Step 1
Wash 200g of white rice, drain well, and place into a microwave-safe cooking container.
Step 2
Drizzle with a little olive oil and season with a pinch of kelp salt to your preference (this is optional).
Step 3
Add 220g of water (the rice to water ratio is 1:1.1) and secure the lid.
Step 4
Place in the microwave and heat at 600W for 10 minutes.
Step 5
Remove the container, open the lid, and use chopsticks to fluff the rice evenly, allowing some steam to escape.
Ingredients List
Important Notes
⚠️ The small microwave container has a capacity limit of about 200g of dry rice; if your portion size is smaller, adjust the rice and water ratio accordingly.
💡 For water amount, use the dry weight before washing as a baseline and add 1.1 to 1.2 times the amount of water. For a firmer, more distinct texture, use 1.1 times.
💡 If you soak the rice for about half an hour before cooking (you can soak it in the refrigerator), the texture of the finished rice will be even better.
🍳 Because the internal space of the microwave container is limited, fluffing the rice before the final 3-minute microwave cycle helps the steam circulate evenly for thorough cooking.
