Method
Preparation
- 1
Rinse the Rice
Measure out 1 cup of brown rice and rinse it under cold water in a fine-mesh strainer until the water runs clear. This helps to remove excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming gummy.
- 2
Combine Ingredients
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed brown rice, 2 cups of water, and 1 teaspoon of salt.
Cooking
- 3
Bring to Boil
Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Allow it to boil for a couple of minutes.
- 4
Simmer
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, and let it simmer for about 45 minutes.
- 5
Rest the Rice
After 45 minutes, remove the saucepan from heat but keep it covered. Let it sit for an additional 10 minutes to allow the rice to finish cooking and absorb any remaining moisture.
- 6
Fluff and Serve
After resting, remove the lid and fluff the rice with a fork. Serve hot as a side dish or as a base for your favorite stir-fry or curry.
