Cooking Instructions

  1. 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. 2

    Boil Water

    In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add salt to the boiling water.

  3. 3

    Add Rice

    Add the rinsed brown rice to the boiling water. Stir it briefly to prevent sticking.

  4. 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. 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. 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.
