Sovereign Harbour Perfect Cooking Rice

Someone recently asked me in Watford... Do you eat rice?


Of course I said.


He added... how do you cook your rice?


This made me think...How people cook there rice!!


I usualy use Basmati Type of rice... Why?.. because I use the Long White Varieties.. I always did.


Here is how I cook my rice.


I take one cup of rice as a measurement.


Add two cups of water.


Place in a Microwave Container which I use only for cooking rice so it is not stained with other food.


My Microwave Power is over 800 Watts.


On the full power for 15 minutes, then take it out and rince.


Perfect rice every time as I have been doing it for years.


Next time, I share with you a secret of cooking my own version of Sovereign Harbour Indonesian Hot Rice Salad which I learnt from a visiting customer to my business in Watford.


Untill the next time... Enjoy Cooking.

Ok, It is easy to open a tin of this or a tin of that... even soaking few Dry Apricots and Prunes overnight with hot water.


Right, let me tell you what I did lately.


I had some Apples and Pears in the fridge.


When it come to eating them, I don't do that so often and many a time I had to put in the bin.


I had four apples and three pears.


I feeled them with a Potato Peeler, one of the best gadget in my kitchen.


I boiled some half a litre of water and added two table spoons of Cane Sugar and two Table spoons of fine sweetners.


I also added two table spoons of pure lemon juice.


Disolved the lot until the water is clear.


Cut each fruits into quatres and cut the pips off.


Place the lot into a glass bowl and place it into the Microwave for ten minutes.


I rested the bowl until cool and transfer the fruit into another container and place it in the fridge overnight.


What a delight and refreshing to have the next morning.


Enjoy.
