I love brown rice! I feel it is far better for you than white rice, plus, it is not refined.

What I do is buy a bag of rice, usually 2 lbs, and cook it all up at once. It ends up to be appx. 18 cups. I use chicken broth instead of water and even add some chicken boullion (powdered) to enhance the flavor of the rice.

I then get out some zip freezer/microwave bags. I fill each bag with whatever portion I feel like...usually 4 cups, then fill the freezer bag up. (Big spoon.) I then flatten the bag out to maybe 3/4 of an inch and then freeze them. (Let them cool first & be sure to leave the bag unzipped a little as you squeeze the air out) I usually end up with 4-5 flat bags stacked in the reezer.It takes up very little room, flattened.

Simply take one out, microwave one side on high for appx. 4 mins then flip and microwave other side for appx 3 mins. (Dont forget to zip it open a little to allow steam to escape...Done. Add to recipe.

Takes a bit of time initially, but ends up saving lots of time over several meals.
