Once the egg is in the water, use a sharp knife to pierce a small hole in the yolk. Carefully crack an egg into the mug, making sure you don't break the yolk. Fill an average-sized mug to about halfway with cold water, then add a splash of vinegar. A fresh egg (if it's nearing its best before date, this won't work). But, if you follow our instructions, you'll be making perfect eggs Benedict in no time.

Drain the rice and add the same amount of cold water as rice into your microwavable bowl, plus another half a cup. If you're using sticky or easy-cook rice, this isn't necessary. If you're using long grain rice (like basmati) you'll need to wash the rice until the water coming off it is relatively clear. Measure out your rice – 1 cup makes two generous portions. You'll save a fortune making it with this microwave cooking technique, compared to splashing out on pouches or boil-in-the-bag versions.
