Notes

1. Long grain is the best for this but it will also work with medium and short grain rice. It will also work with basmati and jasmine rice. Do not use risotto or paella rice. With brown rice, top up water and cook for longer per packet directions.

2. Nutrition per serving, assuming 6 servings (3/4 cup packed per serving).
