A simple and quick method to prepare fluffy rice using your microwave, perfect for any meal.
Combine the rice, hot water, butter, and salt in a microwave-safe casserole dish.
Ensure the dish is large enough to prevent overflow during cooking.
Place the dish on a plate in the microwave and cover it with the lid.
The plate will catch any spills, making cleanup easier.
Microwave on high power for 5 minutes.
Keep an eye on the microwave to ensure the water doesn't boil over.
Carefully remove the dish and stir the rice with a fork.
Be cautious of the steam when removing the lid.
Cover the dish again and microwave on medium power for 15 minutes.
Adjust the cooking time if your microwave has different power settings.
Remove the dish from the microwave and fluff the rice with a fork.
Fluffing the rice helps separate the grains for a better texture.
Let the rice stand for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Allowing the rice to rest enhances its texture and flavor.
