   Different microwaves have different settings. See your microwave manual (or look it up online) to learn how to change your microwave’s power level.

   For many microwaves: enter the cook time, press the “Power” (or “Power Level”) button, and select a number between 1-10. Other microwaves may require selecting the Power Level first, and then entering the cook time.

   Microwaves list power levels in different ways. Here’s a guide to help you adjust:

   PL 10 = 100% = High (default)

   PL 9 = 90% = High

   PL 8 = 80% = Med-High

   PL 7 = 70% = Med-High

   PL 6 = 60% = Medium

   PL 5 = 50% = Medium

   PL 4 = 40% = Med-Low

   PL 3 = 30% = Med-Low

   PL 2 = 20% = Low

   PL 1 = 10% = Low

   You will know if the power level has been successfully changed if you hear periodic changes in the microwave’s tone after it begins cooking.
   

   for 30 minutes, or until the water has been absorbed and rice is tender. Let it rest covered for 5 minutes to gently finish steaming.
3. Meanwhile, prepare the radishes by trimming the tops and cutting them into halves or quarters. If using radish tops, rinse very well so there’s no grit left, then tear once or twice.
4. After rice has finished cooking, add chicken broth, chicken, radishes, and radish tops (if using. Cover and cook in the microwave for minutes, or until chicken broth is heated through, radishes have softened a bit, and greens are wilted.
5. Add a few shots of hot sauce and some twists of black pepper. Taste and add more salt and lemon until the soup is both zesty and comforting at the same time. Serve with a drizzle of olive oil and more lemon.
