Look it up. There are tons of recipes for rice pilaf.

When it was suggested you cook rice and freeze it you wondered why. How
about that stir-fry you mentioned? Stir-fried rice is *never* made with
freshly cooked rice. Day old, refrigerated rice at best. If you want
to use brown, whatever... it would still be similar to day old rice if
thawed from frozen. Of course it is not normal to make stir-fry with
brown rice.
