You can store the rice in the fridge for up to 3 days in a tightly closed airtight container.

You can also add other vegetables to your liking such as carrots, broccoli, mushrooms, zucchini blossoms, tomatoes, etc.

If you have difficulty cooking the rice, you can also cook it the traditional way by boiling it in salted boiling water.

Rinsing the rice in cold water before cooking will help it lose the starch and thus achieve grains that easily separate without sticking to each other.
