How to Cook Minute® Rice Microwaveable Cups
If you would like to prepare the rice on the stove instead of in the microwave, simply remove the film from the rice and place the contents in a skillet or small saucepan. Add 1 tablespoon of water (or broth) and heat on low for one to two minutes until heated through and stir occasionally. Remove from heat and serve immediately.
