Cooking tips for Rice

Place cups of rice in a glass bowl and wash with water until the water is clear this removes a lot of the starchiness out of the rice and it will fluff up better. cover rice with water until it's one finger joint above the top of the rice. (please make sure the glass is bigger enough to allow the rice to expand) place in microwave, cook on high for 10-12 mins there should be no water left at all. Fluff up rice with a fork and serve. Remember 1 cups of uncooked rice serve 2 people when cooked.

Optional extras add Cashew nuts and either crushed ginger or grated ginger root. Add a squeeze of lemon juice. experiment.
