Making Rice

Microwaveable rice...This is the best recipe I have ever used.  I promise.






For this big 'ole bowl of rice you will need:

1 cup basmati rice  (don't know if other rice will work)
3 cups water

Put the bowl of rice and water in the microwave uncovered and cook for 15 minutes.   It doesn't boil over.  How cool is that.

After the 15 minutes, cover the rice and you can cook for 5 more minutes.  I usually, just cover the rice and let it sit until we are ready to eat.

Since the boys can eat more that the average serving, I use 1 1/2 cups rice to 5 cups water.  I microwave it in the bowl that is pictured.  It still does not boil over.  

My friend Dawn gave this recipe to Blaise and it has been the best gift.  The boys will even make the rice!
