How to Cook Brown Rice

Description

Making rice on your stovetop is easy!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 cup brown rice
  • ½ teaspoon Kosher salt

Instructions

  1. Place all ingredients in a saucepan, bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low (simmer), cover and set a timer for 45 minutes.
  2. Take a fork and check the bottom of the pot and make sure all, or almost all of the water has been absorbed. Put the cover back on, take the pot off the heat, and let it sit for another 10 minutes or so. Fluff with a fork and it’s ready to eat!

Notes

I’ve found 45 minutes to be the magic time, but if there is still standing water at the bottom of the pot, let the rice simmer for another 5 minutes, covered, and check again.
Also, I like brown basmati rice, but you can use whatever kind you have, as long as it doesn’t say “instant”, or “quick cooking”.
