Ingredients

• 5 tablespoons rice (quick cooking)
• ⅔ cup (5oz/150g) cold water
• 2 broccoli florets (finely chopped)
• ½ teaspoon cornstarch (corn flour)
• 3 tablespoons milk
• 4 tablespoons grated cheddar
• Salt to taste

Directions

• In a very large, microwavable bowl add in your rice, broccoli and cold water. Place a plate over the top of the bowl. It’s best to use a quick cooking as it cooks faster.
• Microwave for 3 ½ - 4 minutes. Keep a close eye on it as it cooks as the water can overflow if the bowl is too small.
• When the rice is fully cooked, remove from the microwave and mix in cornstarch, milk, grated cheese, milk and a pinch of salt.
• Place back in the microwave to heat the ingredients together, around 1 minute 30 seconds. The cornstarch needs to get hot for it to activate. It helps to create a thick sauce for your rice bowl
• Enjoy your Homemade Rice warm, straight from the microwave.
