Basic Brown Rice image

This is just plain brown rice - I serve it with curries and stir frys as a healthier alternative to plain white rice. I don't remember any more where I got this recipe, but it has worked the best of any brown rice cooking directions that I have found.

Time 30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 cups brown rice
3 cups water
1/2 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Put water in a medium sauce pan that has a lid.
  • Add salt and rice and stir once.
  • Heat to a full rolling boil.
  • Place lid on pan and reduce heat to simmer (my stove only does a very "high" simmer).
  • Simmer for 20 minutes. *Do not lift lid or stir.*.
  • Turn off heat. *Do not lift lid or stir.*.
  • Let sit at least 10 minutes before serving. The longer you let it sit, the more the rice improves. I often lift the lid and fluff-stir the rice at 10 minutes, then replace the lid and let the rice rest while I prepare the rest of the meal.
