1
Rinse the Rice
Place the brown rice in a fine mesh strainer and rinse it under cold water for about 30 seconds. This helps to remove excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming gummy.
2
Measure Water
In a medium-sized saucepan, measure out 2 cups of water and add 1 teaspoon of salt and 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

3
Combine Rice and Water
Add the rinsed brown rice to the saucepan with the water, salt, and olive oil.
4
Bring to a Boil
Turn the heat to high and bring the mixture to a boil. Once it reaches a rolling boil, reduce the heat to low.
5
Simmer the Rice
Cover the saucepan with a lid and let the rice simmer on low heat for about 45-50 minutes, or until all the water has been absorbed.
6
Fluff and Serve
Once the rice is cooked, remove the saucepan from the heat and let it sit for 5-10 minutes with the lid on. Then, fluff the rice with a fork before serving.
