Cooking Instructions
- 1
Rinse the Rice
Place the brown rice in a fine mesh strainer and rinse under cold running water for about 1-2 minutes. This helps to remove excess starch and prevent the rice from becoming gummy.
- 2
Boil Water
In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add 0.5 tsp of salt to the water for flavor.

Cook the Rice
Once the water is boiling, add the rinsed brown rice. Stir once, then reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid.
- 4
Simmer
Allow the rice to simmer for about 45 minutes without lifting the lid. You may check the water level towards the end; if it's dry, add a splash more water.
