- Jasmine rice - Basmati rice I don't recommend using standard long-grain white rice. It has a lot of starch content and can become sticky. Especially if you're meal prepping and reheating them. Jasmine and Basmati rice keep their texture and don't become sticky when reheated. You can use brown rice for a whole grain version, but it may still get a bit sticky when reheated. It also will not give the same aromatic flavor as jasmine rice. You could also swap the rice for quinoa or noodles.
