If you want to switch up the type of rice used, simply look on the packaging of your rice of choice and follow the rice + water amounts and their cook time instructions while adding in the butter, garlic and onion – as directed above.
- Storage: store rice leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
