It's important to wash the rice beforehand, otherwise you may end up with residue on your rice or dirty water. Once washed, place it directly into a microwave-safe bowl so you don't have to switch out bowls later. The bowl needs to be big enough to hold 1 cup of rice and 2 cups of water, in addition to extra room for stirring. Whenever you're making rice, always add double the amount of liquid. You can also use chicken, beef, or vegetable stock instead to give it a richer flavor. If you soak your rice beforehand, you may want to use a tablespoon or two less water. The longer you let it soak, the better. You could skip this step if you're in a rush, but you will be sacrificing taste. Soaking the rice allows the rice to open up, expand, and separate. Some say it allows the grains to "bloom." After the rice has soaked, now is the time to add any flavors you'd like to see in your rice. A splash of oil (vegetable, olive, etc.) is wise as that will give your basmati rice its glossy look. Here are a few other ideas: Salt Cumin Cardamom Cinnamon Onion Turmeric This is the easiest method as you can watch your rice cooking if you'd like. Initially, it should be uncovered. Brown and white rice vary in how long they need cooked: Brown rice: 15-18 minutes White rice: 10-12 minutes You can use a thin cloth or a couple of paper towels. Every microwave is a little bit different, so towards the end, keep an eye on it. When no liquid is on top, it's done. Here's how long it should be cooked when covered: Brown rice: 5-7 minutes White rice: 7-10 minutes The rice continues the cooking process and will steam and soften if you leave the cover on. Give it 10-15 minutes to sit and soak up the steam. The fewer times you uncover the rice, the better. Covering and uncovering it can lead to the rice hardening. Keep the rice covered as much as possible to keep it warm. Fluff it with a fork to give it that restaurant appeal. Then serve as an addition to your table, or just chow down! It's delicious enough to eat on its own.

Take a colander big enough to contain your milk mixture. Line it with cheesecloth so cheesecloth covers all the sides of the container. Remove the heated milk from the stove and pour it into the colander, right on top of the cheesecloth. Go slowly to avoid spilling the milk. Once the milk mixture is in the cheesecloth, sprinkle on some salt. Take small tastes as you go. Keep adding little bits of salt at a time until you reach your desired taste. Take all the ends of the cheese cloth and tie them together. Then, tie the ends of the cheesecloth around the sink's faucet. Let the cloth hang for an hour on the faucet. This will help the mixture solidify. After an hour, remove the cheesecloth from the sink. Open the cloth and sprinkle on your chosen herbs. Mix them into the cheese. For example, you could add thyme and rosemary. Your cheese will still be slightly runny. Place the goat cheese in the refrigerator wrapped in wax paper. Let it sit until it forms a thick, spreadable mixture. How long it takes your cheese to set depends on the precise temperature of you refrigerator.
