Long Grain Microwave Rice

Long grain microwave rice is ready-cooked rice that you heat in the microwave, so you can have a side of rice on the table without a pan. It has long, slim grains that stay soft and separate. It suits curries, chilli and quick midweek dinners.

What Long Grain Microwave Rice Tastes and Feels Like

Long grain rice has a mild, neutral taste and a light, fluffy texture. The grains stay apart instead of clumping together. That makes it a good base for saucy dishes, because the rice soaks up the sauce without turning sticky.

Because the rice is already cooked, there is no measuring, rinsing or watching the pan. You heat it, fluff it with a fork and serve.

Ways to Use Microwave Rice

Long grain microwave rice goes well with anything you would normally serve with plain boiled rice. These are some everyday ideas.

  • Chicken, lamb or vegetable curry
  • Chilli con carne
  • Egg fried rice and other stir-fries
  • Burrito bowls and rice salads
  • A quick side for grilled meat, fish or roast vegetables

Tips for Heating and Serving

Follow the heating instructions on the pack, as microwave power varies from one machine to another. Fluff the rice with a fork once it is hot to separate the grains.

For fried rice, break up the grains with a fork before they go into the wok. Stir-fry them over a high heat so they stay separate and pick up a little colour.

When Microwave Rice Is Useful

Microwave rice is handy when you want rice in a hurry. It suits busy weeknights, lunches at work, student kitchens and anyone without much hob space. It is also a simple way to make a single portion without cooking too much.

Long Grain Microwave Rice FAQ

Do I need to cook microwave rice in a pan?

No, you do not need a pan. The rice is already cooked and only needs heating in the microwave, following the instructions on the pack.

What is long grain rice?

Long grain rice has slim grains that are several times longer than they are wide. When cooked, the grains stay separate and fluffy rather than sticky.

Can I use microwave rice for egg fried rice?

Yes, you can use it for egg fried rice. Heat the rice first, then break up any clumps and fry it quickly in a hot pan or wok with egg and vegetables.

Add long grain microwave rice to your basket for your next curry night or quick stir-fry.

Disclaimer

We take great care when preparing and securely packing every order; however, during transportation, parcels may be handled by several parties, including the courier, and despite our best efforts, minor cosmetic damage such as dents, marks, scuffs or damage to external packaging may occasionally occur. Minor cosmetic damage that does not affect the product’s safety, quality or intended use will not normally be considered a product defect. This is particularly applicable to products supplied in cans, tins, plastic containers, boxes or similar packaging. If you receive a product that is broken, leaking, materially damaged, unsafe, unusable or otherwise not as described, please contact us within 24 Hours of delivery by email or telephone and provide your order number, details of the issue and clear photographs of the damaged product and packaging. We may require further information or evidence to investigate the matter and, where necessary, may take up to 14 days to complete our investigation. Where damage appears to have occurred during delivery, we may need to raise a claim with the courier, and you may be required to complete and return any Damage on Receipt (DOR) form or other documentation requested by the courier before the claim can be processed. Some products we sell are price-marked or display a manufacturer’s recommended or printed retail price. Please note that our online selling prices may differ from the price printed on the product because online orders involve additional costs such as picking, packing, packaging materials, warehouse handling, payment processing, website administration and delivery-related costs. You may therefore receive a product displaying a printed or recommended retail price that is lower than the price you paid online. The price you agree to pay is the online selling price displayed on our website at the time you place your order, and the presence of a lower printed or recommended retail price on the packaging does not, by itself, mean that the online purchase price was incorrect. Product images displayed on our website are for illustration and presentation purposes only. Actual product packaging, branding, design, colour, size, shape or appearance may vary depending on availability, manufacturer, batch or packaging updates. Such variations do not necessarily indicate that the product supplied is different from the product ordered, provided that the product itself corresponds to the description and specifications stated on the website. We ask customers to check their order and products as soon as reasonably possible after delivery and contact us promptly if there is any material damage, fault, incorrect item or issue with the goods.
