Ingredients
- Cooked leftover rice
Instructions
Place the leftover cooked rice in a microwave-safe container that has a lid.
Dica: It's best to use the same container you used for refrigeration, making sure it has a cover.
Place the lidded container in the microwave and heat for 2 minutes.
Dica: On some appliances, you might need to start with 1 and a half minutes and then check.
Remove the container from the microwave, open the lid, and use a spoon to gently loosen the grains by pressing down on the rice.
Dica: Do not do this while the rice is ice-cold to prevent it from breaking up and turning mushy.
Cover the container again and return it to the microwave for another 2 minutes.
Dica: The lid is essential because it allows condensed moisture to return to the rice, preventing it from drying out.
After the second heating, loosen the grains again with the spoon, pressing in all directions to ensure they are fluffy.
Dica: The rice should be warmer and looser by this point.
Heat one last time for 1 minute and a half, just to ensure the rice is thoroughly hot.
Dica: This final stage is only to reach the ideal temperature.
Remove the rice from the microwave. It should be ready, fluffy, and not dried out.
