  • STORE. Place the cooled rice in an airtight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • FREEZE. Place the cooled rice in a large Ziploc or portion it out in smaller bags before placing them together in a larger freezer Ziploc for up to 3 months. 
  • REHEAT. Place the desired amount of rice in a microwave-safe bowl and add 1 tablespoon of water for every cup of rice. Cover it tightly with a loose lid or plastic wrap and microwave in 30-second increments, stirring in between, until the rice is warm.
