Steps to Make Brown Rice in the Microwave

Step 1: Measure the Rice and Water

For every cup of brown rice, we need two cups of water. So, if you’re making two cups of rice, you’ll need four cups of water.

Step 2: Rinse the Rice

Put the rice in a bowl and rinse it under cold water. Do this until the water becomes clear. This helps clean the rice.

Step 3: Combine Rice and Water in a Bowl

Next, put the rinsed rice and the measured water into the microwave-safe bowl.

Step 4: Microwave the Rice

Put the bowl into the microwave, uncovered. Set the microwave for 10 minutes on high power.

Step 5: Stir and Microwave Again

After 10 minutes, please take out the bowl (be careful, it’s hot!), it’s the rice and water, then put the bowl back into the microwave. This time, microwave it for 20 minutes on 50% power.

Step 6: Let the Rice Rest

Once the microwave beeps, let the rice sit inside for a few minutes. This helps the rice absorb any remaining water.

Step 7: Fluff and Serve

Take the bowl out of the microwave, fluff the rice a bit with a fork, and voila! Your microwave brown rice is ready to serve!
