I microwave rice or noodles with water to make them perfect.

That isn't normal? I thought that was common leftovers knowledge, lol

[–] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I need some more info on this. So you have uncooked rice and put it with with water in the microwave to cook it?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago (3 children)

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

I do five minutes on high, 12-15 on medium.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

It only takes me 18 minutes on the stove top. How can the microwave take longer?
