Notes

Cool the dish to room temperature before storing. Store in airtight containers in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. Can be frozen for up to 2 months in a freezer-safe container. Reheat with a splash of broth to loosen rice. If rice is firm, add more broth and cook longer. Do not lift the lid while cooking to ensure proper cooking time.
