Because rice can
take quite a significant amount of time to cook, and not everyone
likes the taste of quick 5 minute rice, you will be happy
to know that you can freeze rice for later! You just need
to follow a few important steps before freezing to ensure
the quality is still good when you go to thaw and re-use it
in a later dish.
Cook your rice
as usual. Allow to cool, then place in refrigerator. After
the rice is chilled in the fridge, transfer rice to freezer
bags or containers, and freeze as usual. Allowing the rice
to chill will avoid the problem of mushy rice when you thaw
it.
