Instant Rice, Instant Oatmeal

I like instant or quick cook oatmeal and instant rice. I know, a lot of people don't consider instant rice "real" rice but for me it serves the purpose.
I think everyone knows the directions...boil the water then add the rice or add the oatmeal. Well, there's a better way. A way that creates a better texture.

FIRST OATMEAL:
1 cup water ( but it is better if it's 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup milk
1/2 cup quick cook oatmeal
dash of salt.
Place all ingredients in sauce pan and stir a few times until it comes to a boil. Cook one minute. Remove from heat and serve.

SECOND RICE:
Measure water and rice according to box directions for how much you plan to cook.
Add both to the sauce pan and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and cover for 5 mintues. Fluff lightly and serve.

Cooking both items this way makes for a much better texture.

ENJOY!
