Plain rice is a staple food in many cuisines, especially in Asia, and it is a versatile and inexpensive ingredient that can be transformed into a variety of dishes. This make-ahead plain rice recipe is a great meal prep idea for busy days or for those who want to save time and effort in the kitchen.
