Rice Cooked in the Microwave

A white bowl filled with cooked white rice on a white surface with a white background.

To make 4 servings of cooked rice, use:

  • 1 cup of rice

  • 2 cups of water

  • Salt (to your taste)

  • Butter (optional, to your taste, but no more than 1 tablespoon

  • 1 teaspoon of olive oil (optional)

Combine rice, water, olive oil and butter (optional) in a microwave-safe glass bowl. Cover with microwave-safe lid and cook on HIGH – full power for 8 minutes.  The lid can be vented (have small holes).

Cook again, but set your microwave to  MEDIUM (50% power) for 12 minutes.  Remove from microwave. Let stand covered 5 minutes or until water is absorbed. Fluff with fork and serve.

If you want firmer rice, cook at 50% power for 10 minutes instead of 12 minutes and for softer rice cook at 50% power for 15 minutes.  Also, if you feel that your rice is dried out or not cooked sufficiently, you can increase the amount of water from 2 cups to 2 ¼ cups.

If you want to cook only 2 servings of rice use the following:

  • ½ cup of rice

  • 1 cup of water

  • Salt, butter, olive oil

Cook on HIGH – full power for 5 minutes.. Cook again at MEDIUM  (50% power) for 10-12 minutes.

Note: I do not add butter or olive oil and do not open the lid anytime during cooking as your rice will be crunchy.

*Microwave ovens vary. Cooking times are approximate. Adjust cooking time as needed.

White Gravy

A pot of creamy white gravy being stirred with a wooden spoon.

  • 2 T butter

  • 2 T Baker Farm Rice Flour

  • 1/4 t salt

  • Dash of black or red pepper or to taste (I use both)

  • 1 c milk

Melt butter in a sauce pan over low heat.  Add Baker Farm Rice flour and blend. Add salt and pepper.  Add milk all at once.  Cook quickly while stirring constantly.  Mixture will bubble and thicken.  Enjoy over chicken fried steak, chicken tender dip, or over sliced boiled eggs.
