Quick rice options
- Cook a batch of rice and keep for 2-3 days in the fridge.
- Cook a batch of rice and freeze in suitable portions. Defrost as required.
- Buy microwave ready pouches of rice.
- Boil 3 cups water in the kettle. In a large microwave-proof dish mix 1 ½ cups medium grain white rice and boiling water. Cook, uncovered, on HIGH for 12 minutes, then cover with a plate or lid and let rest till ready to serve. This method might need tweaking depending on the shape of your dish and the strength of your microwave. If the rice is not cooked enough, but the rice has absorbed all the water, add a splash more boiling water and cook for another minute. If the rice is not cooked enough, and still quite wet, cook for another minute. Repeat as needed.
Healthy tip!
On a budget? If fresh produce is not available or is too expensive, try canned or frozen fruit and veg!
