[@Kat.....]

I live alone so only ever want to cook one portion. This is so helpful thank you 😊

[@Kat.....]

I assume this works exactly same for long grain rice?

[@JiaChoiChef]

Long grain rice won't end up sticky but I assume it'll work as well. Just control time a bit because it's different grain!

[@LoebRules]

I don't have to buy those single portion instant rice

[@selinalenawell]

Very useful when you live alone, thank you !

[@jemmashome]

Nice!! I never really tried this ! Thanks for sharing, much love from Singapore ❤️

[@coplock6689]

Great trick. Thanks Chef.

[@Kokoroko9]

That was so easy I dont think il use a pan ever again 🙂 great vid short sweet and to the point

[@Adeline9418]

Brilliant! I'll try for sure!!!

[@JiaChoiChef]

Adjust the amount of water and cooking time, as the rice condition may depend on your microwave : )

[@Onlypeachy]

Thank you for showing this. I've always used a small pot to cook my rice on my stove but the gas sometimes heats up the house. I wasn't too sure how to cook it in the microwave. I only tried it once in the microwave but I cooked it too long and burned it. Thank you for sharing.

[@JiaChoiChef]

Hi Jan. I hope this recipe works! Don't forget to soak the rice for about 20 to 30 minutes, before cooking at the microwave.

[@justsomerandomguy2780]

Easy! See you next time chef and have a good one!👍😄🇰🇷🍚

i can now make rice foods for breakfast! (at 6am!)

[@SayheeKim]

대박~ 감사해요 혼밥할때 정말 좋겠어요 이런 short-grain 쌀이 짱인것 같아요 ~ 미국 흔히 파는 쌀은 정말 ㅈㅁㅇ

[@JiaChoiChef]

와~한글 댓글 반갑습니다 ^ ^ 전자레인지에 따라서 쌀이 완전히 익는 시간이 약간 차이가 있는 것 같으니 참고하셔요 : )

[@rasskall-aka-Luke_A.]

Nice! Will definitely try. I've been doing something similar, but this is quicker.

[@JiaChoiChef]

Control the cooking time by monitoring the condition of the rice. Because the result may vary slightly depending on the microwave. :)

[@rasskall-aka-Luke_A.]

@@JiaChoiChef Thank you! I appreciate it!

[@Neo-ug4nb]

Very practical, nice job. What is the ratio of water do you put in compared to what is suggested on the package?

[@JiaChoiChef]

The recipe for one portion rice is written in the recipe, but it may vary a bit depending on the microwave oven that you use : )

[@istvanmaasz6771]

for rinsing the amount of water was very precise, but for cooking it was "some"..

[@JiaChoiChef]

The amount of water may vary depending on the microwave and rice. Add more water if needed : )

[@ckyabuta]

🙂

[@cynot71]

I use Progressive International Microwave Rice Cooker. I payed $6 for it before COVID. It's ridiculously expensive now. For 1 cup, I set the timer to 11 minutes and lower the power to 70%. My microwave is 1200W or 1500W.

[@JiaChoiChef]

I hope it worked : )

[@Deceba1]

700 watt for 6 minutes means 72 watts used to cook the rice? is this correct? What about chicken or potatoes? Can i cook myself a meal with under 500 watts?

[@JiaChoiChef]

I've tried only using microwave oven that I have. Microwave ovens are so sensitive and cooking time may differ depending on watts and you'll have to test it.

[@v000000000000v]

keep in mind 700w mode doesn't necessarily mean 700w is drawn, only if you have a lot of food especially in water content, unless you've saturated the full load, 500w should be the same as 700w

[@w11granny72]

Short grain ?? I only have long grain. Used to use short grain rice for pudding

[@JiaChoiChef]

I used short grain or a rice that is often called sushi rice. You may try it with long grain too! : )

[@neotock]

Is it really healthy eating rice from the microwave?

[@ederrocha3491]

Yes

[@Nobodyknowsreally]

This didn’t work for me. I followed exactly except my microwave doesn’t do 700w, only 800 pr 650, so I did 800. After the 3 minutes the rice was rock- hard. I added a second 100 mls water and cooked another 3 minutes, then a third 100 mls and a third 3 minutes, followed by a minute’s rest. It was still barely cooked. Any advice please?

[@JiaChoiChef]

The amount of water and cooking time may change a bit depending on the type of the rice and microwave condition. I will try to make it more accurate next time.

[@Cristopher.C]

but one question: is it healthy eating rice cooked from microwave? just kidding, that's why I'm here, to microwave my rice properly. thanks

[@JiaChoiChef]

Yes, cooking in the microwave it's not harmful but you'll need to adjust the water and the cooking time that works at your microwave oven. : )

[@mistores32]

What is your microwave wattage?

[@JiaChoiChef]

It's 700 watt. It seems that the cooking time may change a git depending on the microwave, so keep watching and increase the cooking time and water if needed. : )

[@davidboloteny8734]

She helped me make food 😂

[@jefferynordgulen4436]

I have tried this many many times an equal portion of rice and water never results in cooked rice just a dry hard clump that cannot even bee fluffed

[@jefferynordgulen4436]

1.5 is better but still undercooked and dry. I have always thought the ratio was 2 to 1 water and rice.

[@JiaChoiChef]

You can follow the ratio of 2 parts water to 1 part rice, but if you soak the rice thoroughly, you can reduce the amount of water. I used freshly milled rice, which tends to have more moisture than older rice varieties. The amount of water needed can vary depending on the rice's condition, so feel free to adjust slightly as needed. :)

[@sandi1968k]

Thank you 😇 perfect for dog enticing my picky furry friend to eat her dry dog food

[@rachelvo9587]

mine always comes out undercook :(

[@JiaChoiChef]

Sorry. Maybe add more water and extend time will better result. : )

[@DustinPerezano-ne3dn]

I will tell your viewers the amount of water. Its ok. No problem. So, just add the same amount of water as the portion and the another half amount of it as water. So 1&1/2. That should be about rite. Imo.

[@captain42809]

are you deaf or illiterate? because she says after adding the rice ADD THE SAME AMOUNT OF WATER I would say turn on captions but I can tell reading would be hard for you so whats the point but if you go to 45 seconds in to make it really easy for you since I can tell these things are hard for you she also puts it in the description i know you're trying to act like you're doing something but you're not. you're making yourself look incompetent and bad. She did this video very well and iof you look at the comments you're the only one having an issue lol.

[@AreilKnight]

is that ratio by volume or by weight?

[@creativestudios3d]

No offense, but it's like: 'Make a small portion with 10x as much work'

[@JiaChoiChef]

For some people it is and for others, it is not so.

[@DustinPerezano-ne3dn]

😂. So funny that nobody says exactly how much water. So ridiculous. Imo. How much water? You didn't explain how much water in comparison to the rice. So if it's 100 mg of rice how many mg of water? Hu? U did not explain completely.

[@rodneypayne707]

100 grams .. it is in the ingredient list

[@Nobodyknowsreally]

@@rodneypayne707it is, but this didn’t work for me. I did exactly what the video says, rice was totally hard and dry. Repeated water, 3 minutes cooking and 1 minute rest, then a third 100 mls, 3 minutes cooking and 1 minute rest. Still barely cooked.Gave up waiting while curry got colder. Was it because i used an 800 microwave? I will buy a rice cooker!

[@DustinPerezano-ne3dn]

You just only say put "some" water. Well how much. If its a real recipe i think one should say the amounts involved. If not, its a waste of time.

[@tinytinay2446]

She did at 0:45 - same amout of water 100mg

[@defaultui9625]

It was directly mentioned in the video as 100g. Basically 1:1 ratio of rice and water. It is also in the description.

[@Kokoroko9]

That was so easy I dont think il use a pan ever again 🙂 great vid short sweet and to the point
