Notes
Long-grain white rice works best for this recipe, but you can substitute with jasmine or basmati for a different flavor profile.
Rinsing the rice removes excess starch, resulting in fluffier rice. However, if you prefer stickier rice, you can skip this step.
Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze in a freezer bag or container for up to 3 months.
