Notes
- If rinsing rice before cooking, drain well and reduce the water by about 3 tablespoons to keep the water ratio accurate.
- Let leftovers cool completely before refrigerating to maintain quality.
- After cooking, fluff rice with a fork or paddle and allow it to rest if it seems wet to let excess moisture escape.
