Notes
Storing instructions: leftover rice can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Reheating: combine the rice and 2-3 tablespoons of water in a microwave safe container and mix well. Lay a wet paper towel over the rice and heat on high for about 30 seconds at a time until warmed through. Or, reheat in a small pot, with a little extra water, over low heat.
