PERFECT BASIC BROWN RICE

This basic recipe was printed in Saveur magazine. It works well for any brown rice - short, medium or long-grain brown rice. Disregard the directions on your package. Most likely it will come out mushy. In this recipe, the boiling (uncovered) cooks it thoroughly, and the steaming at the end make it light and fluffy.

PERFECT BROWN RICE



Perfect Brown Rice image

This is a recipe for making perfect brown rice--not too sticky--not too hard--just right. I normally double this batch. Grapeseed oil is fairly inexpensive and can be found at Trader Joe's and many other grocery stores. It can be used for many other things in place of vegetable or olive oil. Great for high heat cooking.

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.

Provided by Martha Stewart

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.

PERFECT BROWN RICE / SAVEUR



PERFECT BROWN RICE / SAVEUR image

Yield 2 cups

Number Of Ingredients 2

1 cup short, medium, or long-grain brown rice
Kosher salt, to taste

Steps:

  • Rinse rice in a strainer under cold running water for 30 seconds. Bring 12 cups water to a boil in a large pot with a tight-fitting lid over high heat. Add the rice, stir it once, and boil, uncovered, for 30 minutes. Pour the rice into a strainer over the sink. Let the rice drain for 10 seconds, then return it to the pot, off the heat. Cover the pot and set it aside to allow the rice to steam for 10 minutes. Uncover the rice, fluff with a fork, and season with salt.

Tips for Perfect Brown Rice:

  • Choose the right rice: Medium-grain or short-grain brown rice will give you the best results, as they are more likely to hold their shape and not become mushy.
  • Rinse the rice: Rinsing the rice before cooking will help to remove any dirt or debris, and it will also help to prevent the rice from sticking together.
  • Use the right water-to-rice ratio: The general rule of thumb is to use 1 1/2 cups of water for every cup of rice. However, you may need to adjust this ratio slightly depending on the type of rice you are using and the desired consistency.
  • Bring the water to a boil: Before adding the rice, bring the water to a boil. This will help to prevent the rice from becoming mushy.
  • Reduce the heat and simmer: Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer the rice for 45-60 minutes, or until the rice is tender and chewy.
  • Fluff the rice: Once the rice is cooked, fluff it with a fork to separate the grains.
