For a richer flavor, try using clarified butter (ghee) instead of vegetable oil. The cooking time may vary slightly depending on your microwave's power. Start with the minimum time and adjust as needed. Be cautious when handling the bowl after microwaving, as it will be very hot. This roux can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
