Method
Preparation
- 1
Rinse the Brown Rice
Place the brown rice in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse under cold running water for about 1-2 minutes until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and helps prevent the rice from becoming gummy.
- 2
Boil Water
In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil over high heat.
- 3
Add Rice and Salt
Once the water is boiling, add the rinsed brown rice and 1 teaspoon of salt to the saucepan. Stir briefly to combine.
- 4
Simmer the Rice
Reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan with a lid, and let the rice simmer for about 45-50 minutes. Do not remove the lid during cooking, as this will release steam.
- 5
Check for Doneness
After 45 minutes, check the rice to see if all the water has been absorbed and the rice is tender. If necessary, let it cook for an additional 5-10 minutes.
- 6
Fluff and Serve
Once the rice is fully cooked, remove it from heat. Let it sit covered for 5 minutes, then fluff the rice gently with a fork before serving.
