For extra flavor, try using a flavored olive oil, such as garlic-infused or chili-infused. Rinsing the rice before cooking removes excess starch and helps prevent it from becoming sticky. Adjust the amount of garlic salt to your personal preference. You can also use fresh minced garlic instead. Store leftover rice in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
