Notes

The recipe yields 2 cups of rice, approx ½ cup per person serving.
Storage - Cooked rice should be stored in an airtight container and refrigerated. It will keep for up to 5 days.
Make ahead - You can make the rice ahead of time, let it cool completely, and then store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator until you are ready to use it.
Freezing - Rice can be frozen for up to 3 months. To freeze, let the cooked rice cool completely and then package it in airtight freezer bags or containers.
Reheating - Reheat rice by adding water or oil and microwaving it until warmed. Alternatively, you can reheat on the stovetop with a few tablespoons of liquid (water or broth) over medium-low heat.
Tips:
You can easily double or triple this recipe. However, you do not need to adjust the cooking times as the rice will cook evenly with a larger amount of rice.
● I used a 6-quart pot. However, none of the steps should change if your pot is smaller or bigger than mine.
● I do not suggest using minute rice for this recipe. I use long-grain white rice and it cooks up beautifully.
