1
Rinse the Rice
Rinse the brown rice under cold water in a fine mesh strainer until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
2
Boil Water
In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the salt at this stage.
3
Cook the Rice
Once the water is boiling, add the rinsed brown rice to the pot. Stir briefly, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pot.
4
Simmer
Let the rice simmer on low heat for about 45 minutes, or until all the water has been absorbed and the rice is tender.
5
Fluff and Serve
Remove the pot from heat and let it sit covered for 10 minutes. Then, fluff the rice with a fork and serve.
