- 2 cups water
- 1-1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)

- Add butter if you want
Freezer-Friendly Instructions:
- The rice can be frozen in an airtight container for up to 3 months.
- (Putting it in a flat layer in sealable plastic bags works well as it will take up less space in the freezer.)
- No need to thaw before reheating; remove it from the freezer and reheat in the microwave with 1 to 2 Tbsp. of water.
