Notes
- Be sure to store the rice as soon as it’s cooled as rice is a breeding ground for bacteria. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 – 4 days.
- If freezing store the rice in a freezer bag with the air pressed out. Thaw overnight in the fridge and fluff the rice before reheating. The rice will last up to 3 months in the freezer.
