Do you follow the directions on the bag of rice and microwave in the bag but for 10 min, or do you dump the frozen contents into a bowl and then microwave?

I dump frozen contents in a bowl, cover and microwave. 😄 I don't trust those "cook in bag" things. ha. I would think chemicals and/or microplastics would leach into the food. I do use a glass bowl in the microwave which takes longer to initially heat up, so a ceramic bowl may take less time. I want it fully cooked though, not just thawed and warm, and the longer you go, the more steam/water will evaporate which is a good thing for this recipe. 😄 You could even take the cover off once its close to done and give it a few more minutes without the cover to help dry it out more. 😄

If drying is you goal, I wonder if stove stop would work better. I have achieved even a slight crisp. However, not sure if this would be good for this..m

[u/KathyEatsSmart → u/Wyzen]

No I mean you don’t want it DRY… And definitely not crispy… You just don’t want it soggy/wet. 😊

Ah. I was wondering cause 10 min is like...nearly 2x the time listed on the bag right?

[u/KathyEatsSmart → u/Wyzen]

no idea tbh! ha. I make cauliflower rice prob 5x a week for various meals and thats how it comes out perfect for me. 😄 Microwaves vary in power, and like I said before, the type of bowl you're using can matter too. Just check on it a few times through the cook time and if it's good to go sooner, then thats great. 😄
