Article: Add 1 cup (200 g) of instant white or brown rice to a large microwave-safe bowl. Pour 1 cup (237 ml) of water over the rice, and stir briefly to combine.  Rice expands while cooking so be sure to use a large bowl even if the uncooked rice and water don’t seem to fill it. You can substitute chicken or vegetable stock for the water if you prefer. You can also add 1 tablespoon (14 g) of butter or margarine and salt to taste to the water and rice for added flavor. Place a microwave-safe lid or piece of paper towel over the bowl, and heat it in the microwave on high for 6 to 7 minutes, depending on the type of rice used.  White instant rice usually requires 6 minutes of heating. Brown instant rice usually  requires 7 minutes of heating. When the rice is finished heating, take the bowl out of microwave. Leave the cover on the bowl, and allow it sit for 5 minutes or until the water is fully absorbed. Once the water is absorbed, remove the cover from the bowl. Use a fork to lightly fluff the rice, and serve it while it’s still warm. You can use the rice in any recipe that calls for cooked rice.
