Rice a Roni from Scratch in the Microwave image

Yes, it is possible to make your own homemade Rice A Roni in the microwave. My microwave is fairly powerful, so please adjust this recipe to yours accordingly. Mine often just sits in the microwave for a while while I finish dinner, and that way it stays hot and is still good once I fluff it.

Number Of Ingredients 7

3/4 cup white rice, uncooked

1/8 teaspoon onion powder

Steps:

  • Place rice, orzo (or other pasta) and margarine in a 2 quart heavy glass bowl. Microwave on high 3 1/2 - 4 minutes stirring after every minute (more often toward the end if you use pasta other than orzo) or until pasta is golden brown.
  • Stir in broth (or bouillon) and spices.

  • Let sit 3 minutes in microwave.
  • Fluff with fork and serve.
