Step 1

Cook the rice, according to How to Cook Rice.

Step 2

Allow the rice to cool to room temperature. (To speed up the process right after cooking, you can place the rice in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze for a few minutes until it is room temperature).

Step 3

Place the rice in a sealed container or freezer safe resealable plastic bag. If using a plastic bag, suck out the remaining air with a straw. Use a permanent marker to write a “Use By” date for 3 months in the future.

Step 4

Place the rice in the freezer and freeze for up to 3 months. To thaw, place the rice in the microwave and cook on high for 2 to 3 minutes until warm. Or, place heat it over medium low heat on the stovetop with a splash of water for a few minutes until reheated.
