This Week's Skill: Cooking Perfect Rice

Rice is one of the most economical pantry staples you can keep on hand. For fluffy rice, follow the package directions and avoid lifting the lid while it cooks. Once it's done, let it rest for about 5 minutes before fluffing it gently with a fork.

Already have cooked rice in the refrigerator? That's even better! Leftover rice reheats beautifully and is perfect for quick meals like this one.

💰 Stretch Every Grocery Dollar

Buying bags of regular long-grain rice instead of instant rice can save money over time. Cook a larger batch and refrigerate or freeze meal-sized portions for quick weeknight dinners.
