MASTER RECIPE: BROWN RICE



Master Recipe: Brown Rice image

Unlike white rice, brown rice retains the nutritious bran and germ covering of the rice grain. This gives it a chewy texture, a nutty aroma, and plenty of essential nutrients. Follow our tried-and-true formula for perfectly fluffy brown rice every time.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Pasta and Grains     Rice Recipes

Yield Makes about 2 1/2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 cup brown rice
1 1/4 to 1 1/2 cups water
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • The Right Ratio: Trust us: Though it's printed on the package, the standard 2-to-1 ratio makes mushy rice. For long-grain brown rice, use 1 1/4 cups water to 1 cup rice. For short-grain, use 1 1/2 cups water.
  • Quick Cooking Time: Bring rice, water, and salt (1/4 teaspoon per cup of rice) to a boil. Cover, and reduce to a slow, steady simmer. Many recipes call for 50 minutes, but we think 30 minutes is plenty. A wide, shallow pot with a tight-fitting lid ensures evenly cooked grains.
  • Steam and Fluff: Let the cooked rice sit for 10 minutes, covered, to absorb maximum moisture; then remove the lid, and fluff the grains with a fork.

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 tablespoons soy sauce
6 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
2 -3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons honey or 2 1/2 tablespoons honey
2 1/2 tablespoons ginger, minced
2 garlic cloves, minced
3/4 lb shiitake mushrooms or 3/4 lb button mushroom, wiped clean and stems removed
1 lb firm tofu, rinsed, patted dry, and sliced 1/2 inch thick
1 quart baby spinach leaves

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  • In a bowl whisk together the soy sauce, vinegar, oil, honey, ginger, and garlic. Place the mushrooms in a bowl and add enough of the marinade to evenly coat them. Toss to combine.
  • Arrange the tofu in a single layer in a small baking dish. Pour the remaining marinade over the tofu.
  • Transfer the tofu to the oven and roast for 20 minutes. Spread the mushrooms out on one or two baking sheets and transfer to the oven. Continue roasting the tofu and the mushrooms until the tofu is nearly dry and well browned and the mushrooms are tender and golden, about 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Arrange the spinach on serving plates. Drizzle with some of the remaining marinade from the tofu pan. Divide the tofu slices among the plates and top with some of the mushrooms. Serve.
