Recipe Tips

To prevent the rice from sticking to the pan, be sure to use a tight-fitting lid and avoid lifting the lid during the cooking process. If the rice is still too firm after the liquid has been absorbed, add an additional 1/4 cup of water and continue cooking until the rice is tender. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply microwave the rice until heated through.
