Servings: 4 portions

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups basmati rice
  • Water for cooking no measuring needed
  • 4 teaspoons water for freezing

Equipment

  • 1 x 1 Cup Silicone Freezer Trays

Method
 

  1. Put the rice in a sieve over your saucepan, fill with cold water, swish around and pour off. Repeat once or twice until the water runs mostly clear, then finish with a final rinse under the tap and transfer to your pot.
  2. Add an inch of cold water to the pot and put on a high heat.
  3. Boil the kettle. Once the base of the pot is hot, pour boiling water over the rice until it's generously covered.
  4. Place a wooden spoon across the top of the pan. Once it comes to the boil, reduce to a medium heat and set a timer for 10 minutes.
  5. Drain through a sieve and run immediately under cold water to cool. Set the sieve back over the pot to drain while you prepare your freezer trays.
  6. Spoon into 1 cup silicone tray cavities, add a teaspoon of water to each portion and freeze.
  7. To reheat, microwave straight from frozen for 2-3 minutes, stirring halfway through.
