How To Defrost Frozen Rice So It's Plump and Delicious

  1. Take the frozen rice out of the freezer.
  2. Put the frozen rice in a heatproof container, sprinkle some water over it, and then throw out the water that pools in the bottom of the container.
  3. Cover the container with plastic wrap and microwave at 600 W for 2 minutes.
  4. (I used a microwave lid in the photo.)
  5. Take the rice out of the microwave after it's been heated, and crumble up any lumps with a spoon.
  6. Re-cover with plastic wrap and microwave at 600 W for another 2 minutes.
  7. (If you can adjust the temperature on your microwave, set it to 70C.)
  8. The rice is nice and plump just as it was before being frozen.
  9. (I used 16-grain rice in the photo.
  10. You can reheat plain white rice in the same way.)
  11. When freezing rice, wrap up small portions in plastic as soon as it's cooked and let it cool down a bit before freezing.
  12. This way the rice will be tastier when defrosted.
