minute rice
Quick-cooking grain product
Minute rice is precooked rice that has been dehydrated, allowing it to cook in a fraction of the time required for regular rice—typically five minutes or less.
The name comes from the short cooking time, not the size.
It trades some texture and flavor for convenience: I keep minute rice in the pantry for busy weeknights.
