Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 cup long or short grain brown rice
6 cups water
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Using a strainer, rinse the rice under cold water, then drain it completely. (Here's why.)
  • In a saucepan over high heat, bring the water to a boil. Add the rice and stir. Continue to boil uncovered until tender, with the water bubbling rapidly, for 20 minutes. Start tasting at 18 to 20 minutes: if the rice is tender, remove the heat. If not, keep cooking 5 to 10 minutes more until the rice is tender. (All rice types and brands are slightly different, so you'll have to adjust according to the specific rice. Ours is usually done in around 18 to 25 minutes.)
  • Pour the rice into a strainer, then return it to the pot. Cover the pot and allow the rice to steam for 5 minutes. Uncover and fluff the rice with a fork. Stir in the salt.

HOW TO COOK BROWN RICE

Brown rice is less processed and more nutritious than its white counterpart. The trick to steaming it is to use less water than called for on the package. The end result: deliciously fluffy, nutty-flavored grains that hold up well in the refrigerator or freezer.
