I found this on southernfoods.about.com and hope to try it soon. If it turns out well the first time that I make it, I don't see any reason why you couldn't make up a few ziplock bags including the rice for storage.

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon chicken bouillon powder
1 teaspoon dried onion flakes
1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons seasoning salt
2 cups water

  • Rinsing the rice: Rinsing the wild rice thoroughly before cooking removes any dirt or debris and helps to prevent the rice from sticking together.
  • Using a flavorful broth: Using a flavorful broth, such as chicken broth or vegetable broth, adds extra flavor to the rice.
  • Adding seasonings: Adding seasonings, such as salt, pepper, and garlic powder, enhances the flavor of the rice.
  • Cooking the rice over low heat: Cooking the rice over low heat helps to prevent the rice from burning or sticking to the pot.
  • Fluffing the rice: Fluffing the rice with a fork after cooking helps to separate the grains and results in a lighter and fluffier texture.
