Perfect Rice.

I have to say that I will no longer drag out my Rice cooker to make rice!! I needed rice to make the Chicken Fried Rice (BTW YUM!!!) I portion some out and make it vegetable fried rice for myself. Every steamer comes with a product card- don't throw it out- If you did- reach out, I can get you another one! The recipe calls for 1:2 I wanted to make more so here's what I did-

perfect. every. time.

Directions: 2 cups rinsed Rice, 4 cups Water(I make it vegetable broth with Epicure's Vegetable Broth mix(tastier and low sodium), Tray on Top. NO COVER Microwave for 10 mins. Let sit for additional 10 min. Perfect rice, every time!! I loved my rice cooker- but why?!?! drag that monster out when I can do it so much easier. Fluffy rice ready for meals.
