Brown Rice Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Rinse the Brown Rice

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

2. 2

   Combine Ingredients in Pot

   In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the rinsed brown rice, 2 cups of water, 0.5 tsp of salt, and 1 tbsp of olive oil. Stir gently to mix the ingredients.

3. 3

   Bring to a Boil

   Place the saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low.

4. 4

   Cover and Simmer

   Cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid and let it simmer on low heat for approximately 45 minutes. Do not remove the lid during this time, as this will release steam and affect the cooking process.

5. 5

   Check for Doneness

   After 45 minutes, check the rice. If all the water has been absorbed and the rice is tender, it is done. If there is still water remaining, cover and cook for an additional 5-10 minutes.

6. 6

   Fluff and Serve

   Once the rice is done, remove the saucepan from heat. Let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes. Then, use a fork to fluff the rice gently before serving.
