I routinely make extra rice. As I'm making it for one, it's hard to
make a small batch suitable for one meal. I find a full pot of at least
one cup raw makes a much better end result.

Rice keeps nicely in the refrigerator or freezer and microwaves up in
no time, and is practically indistinguishable from freshly made.
