Step 4 If you plan on storing extra rice in the fridge or freezer, you want to cool it down as quickly as possible. The best way to do that is to spread it out on a baking sheet in a thin layer. You can leave this out at room temperature for 15-20 minutes or place it in the freezer to cool the rice down quickly. This ensures it doesn't continue to cook and get mushy.
