Tips:

  • Choose the right brown rice: Use a medium or long-grain brown rice for this recipe, as they hold their shape well when cooked.
  • Rinse the rice: Rinsing the rice before cooking helps to remove any dirt or debris, and it also helps to prevent the rice from becoming sticky.
  • Use a ratio of 1:1.5 for rice to water: This ratio will result in perfectly cooked brown rice that is fluffy and tender.
  • Bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to low: This will help to prevent the rice from boiling over and it will also help to ensure that the rice cooks evenly.
  • Cook the rice for 45-50 minutes: This is the average cooking time for brown rice, but it may take a little longer or shorter depending on the type of rice you are using.
  • Fluff the rice with a fork before serving: This will help to separate the grains of rice and make it look more appealing.
