Main Ingredients
Method
Preparation
- 1
Rinse the Brown Rice
Place 1 cup of brown rice in a fine-mesh strainer. Rinse it under cold running water for about 1-2 minutes until the water runs clear. This helps to remove excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming gummy.

Prepare the Steamer
In a large pot, fill it with water and bring it to a boil. If you have a steamer basket, place it over the pot, making sure the bottom of the basket does not touch the water.

Steam the Rice
Transfer the mixture to the steamer basket. Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid and allow the rice to steam for about 45-50 minutes. Check occasionally to ensure there is still water in the pot; add more if necessary.

Fluff and Serve
Once the rice is tender and has absorbed all the water, remove it from the heat. Let it sit covered for an additional 5 minutes. Then, fluff the rice with a fork and serve it warm.
