Quick answer

From the maker’s directions. Full steps and sources below.

Bibigo’s cooked rice comes sealed in a single-serving bowl that keeps at room temperature. In the US it’s sold as Cooked Sticky White Rice (7.4 oz), and in the UK as Bibigo Cooked Rice (210 g). Both packs give the same microwave time.

Official directions

Microwave (1000 W) [1][2]

  1. Peel the film back to the dotted line.
  2. Heat on high for 1 minute 30 seconds (1000 W).
  3. Heating two bowls together? Give them 2 minutes 30 seconds.
  4. Take care when you lift and peel the bowl; it’s hot. Microwave times vary.

The UK pack gives the same 90 seconds at 1000 W.[5][6]

Boiling water [1][2]

  1. Put the unopened bowl in boiling water.
  2. Heat for 10 minutes.
  3. Take it out of the water and serve. The rice is hot.
