Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Rinse the Brown Rice

    Place the brown rice in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse it under cold running water for about 1-2 minutes. This helps remove excess starch and any impurities.

  2. 2

    Combine Ingredients

    In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the rinsed brown rice, water, and salt. Stir to mix the ingredients evenly.

  3. 3

    Bring to a Boil

    Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Keep an eye on it to prevent it from boiling over.

  4. 4

    Simmer

    Once the mixture reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a lid, and let it simmer for 45-50 minutes. Avoid lifting the lid during cooking.

  5. 5

    Check for Doneness

    After 45 minutes, check if the rice has absorbed all the water and is tender. If not, cover and simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes.

  6. 6

    Fluff and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5-10 minutes. Then, fluff the rice with a fork and serve.
