Notes
- Tips
- Storage
- Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days for optimal freshness. Reheat in a microwave in 30-second intervals stirring frequently until fully heated through. I don't recommend freezing since the rice can become mushy when thawed.
- Ensure the rice is completely submerged in the liquid before covering the skillet or slow cooker.
