Chef Sofia Rossi’s Test Kitchen Notes
For maximum flavor and texture, use short-grain brown rice, which holds its shape better than long-grain rice.
Also, don't overcook the veggies, as they'll lose their crunchiness.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
