How to: Rice Recipes FAQs

How to cook rice?

How to cook rice completely depends on the type you’re cooking. For example, long grain rice like basmati needs to be thoroughly washed before being cooked to get rid of excess starch, while brown rice needs more water to cook than white rice and takes slightly longer. With a HelloFresh box, all of the instructions you need to cook rice are on the recipe cards you receive alongside your ingredients.

Is rice gluten free?

Yes, rice is naturally gluten free.

How much rice per person?

How much rice per person all depends on the dish and the diet you’re following. If you’re in a calorie deficit for example, you may want to weigh your individual rice and any ingredients you use to cook it as fried rice calories are not going to be the same as jasmine rice calories. However, if you are not paying attention to calories, it’s usually recommended to cook around 75g of rice per person.

Can you freeze cooked rice?

Absolutely! You can freeze cooked rice. Here’s how: Cool your rice quickly by spreading it in a shallow container and popping it in the fridge. Once it’s completely chilled, portion it out into freezer bags. Flatten each bag to around 3cm thick, squeeze out as much air as you can, and seal it tightly. Easy peasy! Freezing rice is not only a great time saving hack, but it’ll help you reduce your household food waste too.
