A plate is used to cover it after the microwave is turned off to complete the cooking.

Ingredients:
1. Rice Two (2) Cups
Principle:
The preparation consists of 3 steps.
First the rice is rinsed several times and then mixed with double the volume of water
Then it is heated in a microwave in a shallow open bowl for twenty (20) minutes
Finally, the bowl is covered with a flat dish to complete the cooking
Procedure:
1. Measure 2 cups of rice in a shallow open bowl
2. Rinse it with water, then drain the water. It is up to you, depending upon the source of the rice,
whether or not you want to wash multiple times
3. Add four cups of water, as a general rule of thumb, use twice the volume of water as the rice
4. Put the bowl inside the microwave.
5. Make sure that you do not cover the bowl
6. Set the microwave for 20 minutes on highest heat setting. Based on our experience a few minutes
less or more heating won't really hurt
7. Start the microwave
8. As soon twenty minutes of cooking is over, cover the top of the bowl with a plate. This is
important because if the bowl is not covered, the top layer of rice will dry out
9. Leave it covered for a minimum of 5 to 6 minutes. The remaining heat and moisture will cook the
rice evenly . The bowl will be hot, so use gloves or kitchen towels to handle. The rice comes out
moist and fluffy
10. Serve the hot rice with your choice of side dishes
