Note

For storage, allow the rice to cool completely before transferring to an airtight container. It can be refrigerated for up to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months.

You can substitute Spike seasoning with a blend of salt, black pepper, and garlic powder if unavailable.

Feel free to add chopped onions, carrots, or celery to the pot during the simmering process for added flavor and nutrition.

Ensure the lid is on tight during simmering to trap steam, which helps cook the rice evenly.
