Notes
1) I used short grain brown rice, which tends to be my favorite for leftovers as it retains more water.
2)The amount of water needed may vary depending on rice type and cooking method. For example when I use short grain brown rice in the rice cooker I do a 2:1 water to rice ratio, while when cooking it in the instant pot I do closer to 1:1.
