Rice Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Rice

    Rinse the white and brown rice under cold running water in a fine-mesh strainer for 2-3 minutes, until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming gummy.

  2. 2

    Combine Ingredients

    In a large pot, combine the rinsed white rice, brown rice, water, and salt. Stir gently to ensure the salt is evenly distributed.

  3. 3

    Boil the Mixture

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

  4. 4

    Reduce Heat and Simmer

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid, and let it simmer for approximately 40-45 minutes, or until all the water has been absorbed and the rice is tender.

  5. 5

    Fluff the Rice

    After the cooking time is complete, remove the pot from the heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 10 minutes. This allows the rice to steam and fluff up. After 10 minutes, use a fork to gently fluff the rice before serving.
