This 10-minute microwave rice recipe is one of the fastest and easiest ways to cook regular long-grain rice, including varieties like white rice, basmati, or jasmine. By cooking the rice uncovered at full power in an Anyday dish, the grains steam quickly and evenly—no need for a rice cooker or stovetop. It’s a simple, mess-free method that’s perfect for weeknight dinners, meal prep, or when you just need a fast base for bowls, stir-fries, or leftovers.

All of Anyday’s recipes are tested (and retested!) in many different microwave and home kitchens to make sure they work— and work well. Unless specified otherwise, all recipes should be cooked at full power.
