Notes
Store: Cooked rice will keep for 3-4 days in a covered container in your fridge.
Freeze: Cooked rice freezes very well. Let it cool completely, then store it in freezer-safe containers for up to three months. We love these reusable Stasher freezer bags to store just about everything in our freezer, including this garlic butter rice.
