David Chang’s Speedy White Rice
Chef David Chang’s shortcut recipe for speedy white rice could not be easier. If you’re looking for the absolute fastest way to make rice, this recipe is for you. Note: This fail-proof recipe cooks 1 cup of rice in an Anyday Large Dish; do not cook more rice than the quantity listed below. For larger quantities of rice, please refer to Anyday’s standard method.
All of Anyday’s recipes are tested (and retested!) in many different microwaves and home kitchens to make sure they work — and work well.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup (5 oz./155 g) white rice, rinsed and drained
- 2 cups (16 fl. oz./500 ml) water
Directions:
Add the rice and water to an Anyday Large Deep Dish.
In a 1000-watt microwave, cook the rice uncovered at full power for 13 minutes, or until the water is mostly absorbed by the rice. The edges of the dish will start to dry, though the rice will still look very wet. If you still see a layer of water on top, continue microwaving in 1-minute increments until the water is mostly absorbed.
Cover with the lid (knob lifted) and continue cooking at full power for another 3 to 4 minutes. Gently move the rice with a fork — it should feel loose and tender.
Rest for 5 minutes with the lid on to allow rice to gently finish steaming. Fluff rice before serving. Serves 1 to 2.
Recipe notes:
• Always use an Anyday Large Deep Dish to cook rice with this method. Do not cook more than 1 cup of rice.
• Microwave ovens vary, even with the same wattages. Adjust cooking times as needed.
