Tips
If your rice was cooked more than a day ago, you might have to increase the amount of water in the steamer when reheating to help hydrate the grains.
Kimchi is a fermented food that may promote optimal gut health. Look for it in the refrigerated product section of most grocery stores—it’s often beside the tofu.
