Leon’s Microwave Rice This is a nice and fast meal that is easy to make. The proportions are fine for one person. Ingredients: 2 cups of Minute Rice (or equivalent). Meat or meat substitute: 1 can of tuna or one package of “Yves Veggie Ground Round” (Simulated hamburger made from tofu). Vegetable: cut fresh vegetables (peeled baby carrots are good) or a canned vegetable. 2 cups water or juice (or water plus your favorite Lipton Cup-A-Soup). Preparation: Measure rice and pour into 1½ litre microwave-able bowl (I use a rectangular pyrex loaf/bread pan and this works fine.) Add meat and vegetables. Add water and stir so the rice is completely wet. Cover with plastic wrap. Cooking: 8 minutes on full power. Times will vary depending on machines but this should be good. Notes: You may need to add water if you add lots of vegetables or meat. If you just want to microwave the rice 8 minutes is fine. For larger portions you will have to experiment with the cooking time. In the photographed example I didn’t include a ‘meat’ as an ingredient. The vegetables and fruit used were baby peeled carrots, fresh mushrooms, and craisins (cranberry raisins). I changed the cooking time to seven minutes because there was less bulk. It worked out fine.
