This recipe will spoil you for ever going back to the pour and stir method. The texture is a bit different but we love this version and the beauty of it is that you can include it in a menu that has other last minute preparation since this cooks itself. We have it often - it's addictive. The times are for a large microwave, if you have a smaller one you may have to increase the times by a couple of minutes. You can mess around with this one adding other ing. like spinach.
