Cooking Instructions
- 1
Rinse the Rice
Start by rinsing the brown rice under cold water in a fine-mesh strainer until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch.
- 2
Boil Water
In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add salt to the boiling water.
- 3
Add Rice
Add the rinsed brown rice to the boiling water. Stir it briefly to prevent sticking.
- 4
Simmer
Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let it simmer for about 45 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.
- 5
Rest the Rice
Once cooked, remove the saucepan from heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 10 minutes to allow the rice to steam.
- 6
Fluff and Serve
After resting, fluff the rice with a fork and serve warm as a side dish or base for your favorite meal.
