You can buy it in pouches. I used to keep it for times when I was so ill
that I didn't feel up to cooking even rice. But never again. The last
pouch I opened came out smelly and black. Seems too easy for those pouches
to get a pin prick type hole that you wouldn't notice but it is enough to
make the contents go moldy. My mom used to buy the little cups for my dad.
I have also seen frozen rice.

But around here, Teriyaki shops are as common as drive through coffee
places. So if I am out and for some reason need cooked hot rice, I will go
there.
