I often cut corners in the kitchen to make things easier and one of those is buying instant microwavable rice instead of making it myself. The reason? They're perfectly portioned and I have the fear about how to store cooked rice properly (having heard horror stories of food poisoning), so when I inevitably cook too much rice, I tend to throw the leftovers straight in the trash.
But, I'm determined to start reducing my food waste, so I've been keen to learn how to store cooked rice properly, so that I always have some to hand to re-heat with dishes I'm cooking from scratch.
