How can I quickly prepare microwave basmati rice?

To quickly prepare microwave basmati rice, rinse the rice in a fine mesh strainer, then place it in a microwave-safe bowl with water and a pinch of salt. Cover the bowl with a microwave-safe lid or plate and cook on high for about 10-12 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender. Fluff with a fork before serving.
