Place the rice in a large mixing bowl.
Rinse the rice thoroughly to remove the starch, changing the water a couple of times.
Add a teaspoon of salt and 650ml of cold tap water. Don't stir it.
Place the bowl in the microwave uncovered.
Cook on full power for 10 minutes.
Remove from the microwave and stir once.
Return to the microwave for another 3 minutes.
Check that all of the water has been absorbed by tipping the bowl on its side. If there's still water, cook for another 30 seconds.
Place a dinner plate on top of the bowl and microwave for 1 minute.
Leave to stand for 1 minute with the plate on.
Check it's cooked through before fluffing it up with a fork.
