Method
Preparation
- 1
Rinse the Rice
Place the brown rice in a fine mesh strainer and rinse under cold running water for about 1-2 minutes. This removes excess starch and helps prevent the rice from becoming gummy.
- 2
Measure Water
In a medium saucepan, measure out 2 cups of water. If you prefer a slightly softer rice, you can add a bit more water (up to 2.5 cups).
- 3
Add Salt
Add 0.5 teaspoon of salt to the water in the saucepan to enhance the flavor of the rice.
Cooking

Combine Ingredients
Add the rinsed brown rice to the saucepan with the salted water. If using, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil or butter for extra flavor.
- 5
Bring to Boil
Turn the heat to high and bring the mixture to a rolling boil.
- 6
Simmer
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a lid, and let it simmer for about 45-50 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed.
