Rice can sometimes be quite tricky, however I have a great recipe for great rice thanks to my mother in law.

Microwave Rice
1/4 cup white rice per person
1/2 cup of water for every person
chicken stock cube & a little bit of butter

Place in a microwave safe dish with the lid on for 5 minutes on high.
Stir and then on a medium setting for 15 - 20 minutes.
Check half way and stir.
