How to Make Almost Instant Onion Rice

  1. Finely chop 1/2 cup of yellow onion.
  2. In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine 1 cup of long-grain white rice, 1 1/4 cups of water, 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of black pepper.
  3. Microwave on high for 6-8 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender. Microwave times may vary depending on your microwave's power.
  4. Carefully remove the bowl from the microwave (it will be hot!). Let it stand, covered, for 1 minute.
  5. Fluff the rice gently with a fork and serve immediately.
