Crumbly rice in the microwave

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   Prepare all the necessary products. Pay special attention to rice. It can be round-grain or long-grain, but it must be from a reliable manufacturer. Such cereals are always clean, without foreign impurities and do not contain larvae of living creatures. Use natural butter with a fat content of at least 82%.

2. Step 2:

   

   In order for the rice to turn crumbly, the starch must be washed off from it. Therefore, rinse the rice very well with a sieve and plenty of running water. Rinse until the water from the rice becomes clear. By the way, the water with which the rice was washed (when it is still cloudy) is very useful for watering indoor flowers.

3. Step 3:

   

   Prepare the dishes in which you will cook rice. For this purpose, today we will use a microwave oven. Modern ovens are such that you can not only warm up food in them, but also cook full-fledged dishes. But there is one caveat: not every dish is suitable for a microwave. Glass, ceramic and porcelain are perfect. But in no case, do not take metal and dishes with a gilded pattern.

4. Step 4:

   

   Put the washed rice in a deep bowl, fill the rice with clean filtered water. For 1 cup of rice, take 2 cups of water. Add salt to the water. Rice takes in a lot of salt, so use a little more salt for rice than for other dishes.

5. Step 5:

   

   Cover with a special lid, for cooking in a microwave oven. Put it in the microwave, cook at maximum power (usually 1000) for 7 minutes. So you will bring the water in the container to readiness. Then reduce the power of the microwave to a minimum (usually 400-600) and cook the rice for another 10-12 minutes. Thus, the rice will absorb all the water and come to readiness.

7. Step 6:

   

   This is how the figure turns out. It will increase in volume, so immediately take a deeper dish.

8. Step 7:

   

   Add butter to the finished rice.

9. Step 8:

   

   Mix until smooth.

10. Step 9:

    

    Serve as a side dish to any kind of dishes or use for making salads. Enjoy your meal!
