Categories     Essentials

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.

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.

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.

Tips:

  • Use a large pot: When cooking brown rice, it's important to use a large pot so that the rice has enough room to expand.
  • Rinse the rice: Rinsing the rice before cooking helps to remove any excess starch, which can make the rice gummy.
  • Use the right ratio of water to rice: The ratio of water to rice is important for getting the right consistency of rice. For brown rice, the ratio is typically 1 1/2 cups of water to 1 cup of rice.
  • Bring the water to a boil: Bring the water to a boil before adding the rice. This helps to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  • Reduce the heat to low and simmer: Once the water has come to a boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer the rice for the recommended amount of time, usually around 45 minutes.
  • Let the rice rest: After the rice has finished cooking, let it rest for a few minutes before fluffing it with a fork. This helps to prevent the rice from becoming mushy.
  • Season the rice: Once the rice is cooked, you can season it with salt, pepper, or other seasonings to taste.

Conclusion:

Brown rice is a healthy and versatile grain that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is a good source of fiber, protein, and nutrients. With the right cooking techniques, you can make delicious and fluffy brown rice that is perfect for any occasion. Experiment with different recipes and seasonings to find your favorite way to enjoy brown rice.
