Method

Preparation

  1. 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 will help remove excess starch and prevent the rice from becoming gummy.

  2. 2

    Combine Ingredients

    In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed brown rice, water, and salt. Stir gently to combine.

  3. 3

    Bring to Boil

    Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low.

  4. 4

    Simmer

    Cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid and let the rice simmer on low heat for about 45 minutes, or until all the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.

  5. 5

    Rest

    Remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 10 minutes. This allows the rice to finish cooking and absorb any remaining moisture.

  6. 6

    Fluff and Serve

    After resting, use a fork to fluff the rice gently. Serve warm as a side dish or incorporate it into your favorite recipes.
