Ingredients
- 5 tablespoons rice (quick cooking)
- ⅔ cup cold water 5oz/150g
- 2 broccoli florets (finely chopped)
- ½ teaspoon cornstarch (corn flour)
- 3 tablespoons milk
- 4 tablespoons grated cheddar
- Salt to taste
Instructions
- In a very large, microwavable bowl add in your rice, broccoli and cold water. Place a plate over the top of the bowl. It’s best to use a quick cooking as it cooks faster.
- Microwave for 3 ½ - 4 minutes. Keep a close eye on it as it cooks as the water can overflow if the bowl is too small.
- When the rice is fully cooked, remove from the microwave and mix in cornstarch, milk, grated cheese, milk and a pinch of salt.
- Place back in the microwave to heat the ingredients together, around 1 minute 30 seconds. The cornstarch needs to get hot for it to activate. It helps to create a thick sauce for your rice bowl.
- Enjoy your Homemade Rice warm, straight from the microwave.
