Cooking in a microwave oven is actually very simple. As long as you master a few tricks, you can steam soft and sweet rice.

First of all, it is best to choose a rice steaming container specially designed for microwave ovens. When we buy a microwave oven, it will be equipped with a rice steaming pot. It is most suitable to use it to make rice. Secondly, after washing the rice, be sure to soak the rice for about 20 minutes. This will allow the rice to fully absorb water, reduce the cooking time, and make the rice moderately soft and hard. It should be noted that the water we use to soak rice is the water used to cook rice directly, so the ratio of water should be set properly when soaking, generally 1:1.5 is enough. Cover the container in which the rice is soaked, put it in the microwave, and turn it on high heat for 5 minutes; then wait a few minutes to allow the rice grains to fully soak themselves; then use medium heat for 10 minutes. After the time is up, do not take out the rice cooker immediately, let it stay in the microwave for about 10 minutes. Because during these 10 minutes, although the microwave oven stops running, the internal friction of the rice is still heating, which will make the rice softer. After 10 minutes, take out the rice cooker, turn it on, and the soft and delicious rice is ready.

In short, there are four key points to pay attention to when steaming rice in a microwave oven: 1. It is best to use a microwave-specific rice cooker;

2. Soak uncooked rice for 20 minutes in advance;

Three, wait a few minutes before turning from high to medium heat;

Four, do not take it out immediately after it is done, put it in the microwave for ten minutes.

Tips:

1. If the washed rice is not soaked or the soaking time is short, the microwave timing should be relatively longer.

2. Different types of rice absorb different amounts of water. If you change the rice, you need to adjust the water amount accordingly.

3. If the rice is not finished, put it in a rice cooker and heat it in the microwave for two minutes before eating it at the next meal. It will be as delicious as freshly steamed.
