What do you do with bags of white rice?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:If you have more than you can use, put it in a sock. Microwave the rice-filled sock for a few seconds the next time you need a heat pack. As for cooking it, I love it steamed or pilaf style. And you don’t need a rice cooker to make good rice. Yes, the soup, chicken breast & rice thing works. It’s not the best meal you can eat, but it’s decent.
