Notes

  • Refrigerate leftover rice as soon as possible, and store it for up to 4 days. Reheat in an instant pot, microwave or on the stove top, and serve warm.
  • This recipe can be used for other long grain white rice types. Do not substitute for short grain rice, brown rice or wild rice as those require different cooking times.
