If you're looking for a healthy and easy meal, brown rice is a great option. Brown rice is a whole grain, which means it contains more fiber and nutrients than white rice. It's also a good source of protein and iron. However, brown rice can be a bit more challenging to cook than white rice. That's why we've put together a list of recipes for unfried brown rice that are not only delicious but also good for you.
Let's cook with our recipes!
FRIED BROWN RICE
This is delicious! The original recipe came from the Desperation Dinners column in my newspaper. I used garlic oil instead of peanut oil. You could add some cooked chicken, cooked pork, cooked shrimp or cooked beef to make a main dish.

NO-FUSS PERFECT BAKED BROWN RICE
Nothing exotic here except perfect brown rice every time. I was surprised that there was no recipe for this already. I hated making brown rice on the stove top, so I have used this for almost 20 years. Smells like popcorn when it is baking. Be creative! Add spices to match any meal. Make a double recipe and you have the beginnings for a breakfast frittata or stir fried rice.

Steps:
- Brown rice is easy to cook. We have detailed instructions in our post on How to Make Perfect Brown Rice, either on the stove, or in any rice cooker.
- If you are making brown rice fresh the same day, let the cooked rice cool completely before using it. It's best to transfer the rice from the pot to a sheet pan and fluff it with a fork, so it can dry out and cool simultaneously.
- Day-old brown rice also works nicely, as cold rice clumps are drier and easily broken apart in the wok. Simply take the brown rice out of the refrigerator, wet your hands with a little water, and break up any clumps so you have individual rice grains. Rinse your hands with a little more water if rice sticks to your hands.
- If using beef, chicken, or pork, add 1 tablespoon water, 1¼ teaspoons dark mushroom soy sauce, and 1 teaspoon vegetable oil to the meat. Mix until all the liquid is absorbed by the meat to tenderize and add moisture. If you're using shrimp, just omit the dark mushroom soy sauce.
- Next, mix in 1 teaspoon cornstarch and set aside. We made a version with beef, but you can pick any meat of your choosing or go vegetarian with a vegetable fried brown rice.
- Mixing your sauce ahead of time is much easier than adding everything individually to a hot wok. In a small bowl, mix 2 teaspoons hot water and ¼ teaspoon granulated sugar until dissolved. Stir in ⅛ teaspoon ground white pepper, ½ teaspoon sesame oil, 1 teaspoon dark soy sauce, 1 tablespoon light soy sauce, and ½ teaspoon MSG if using. Set aside.
- Heat the wok until just smoking. Spread two tablespoons of vegetable oil evenly around the wok, and add the beaten eggs. Turn the heat down and stir the eggs until scrambled. Transfer back to the same bowl, and set aside.
- Heat the wok until smoking. Add one tablespoon of vegetable oil. Add the marinated meat to the wok. Spread it out in one single layer, and sear for 30 seconds on each side. Scoop it back into the bowl and set aside.
- With the heat on high, add the chopped onions to the wok (there should be some oil remaining from searing the meat). Cook until translucent. If using fresh carrots, add them at the same time you add the onions. If using frozen carrots, add them after the onions turn translucent.Continue stir frying until the carrots are heated through.
- Add the cooked brown rice. Your heat should be really high at this point to prevent sticking. Use your metal wok spatula to stir-fry the rice, scraping from the bottom of the wok to prevent sticking. This is an essential technique for fried rice.
- Once the brown rice is warmed (after 1 to 2 minutes of stir-frying), pour the prepared sauce evenly over the rice. Stir fry for another 1-2 minutes to evenly distribute the sauce.
- Add in the seared meat. Spread 1 tablespoon of Shaoxing wine around the perimeter of the wok, and give everything a quick stir.
- Next, stir in the scrambled eggs. Then, stir in the frozen peas until heated through. Toss in the chopped scallions and stir fry for another 15 seconds. Use a clean spoon to taste the rice, and re-season with more soy sauce or salt if needed.
- Plate and serve immediately.

Steps:
- Place brown rice and water in pot with tight fitting lid - bring to boil, then simmer for 40 minutes or until water is absorbed (or use left over brown rice).
- In large skillet or wok, heat olive oil over med-high heat - add onions and garlic, cook until soft.
- Push onions and garlic to the side, add eggs, and cook, stirring constantly.
- Add vegetables (I usually add more than 1 cup) and rice, left over meat(if you choose to), and green onions - continue stirring.
- Add soy sauce and sesame oil - heat through.
- To freeze: Place in a rigid container and freeze. Note: If you plan on freezing part of this you may want to omit the soy sauce and sesame oil until reheat.
- To heat: Thaw, put in a baking dish, covered with foil and reheat at 350F for 30 minutes or until heated through.
Tips:
- Use day-old rice: Day-old rice is less likely to clump together and will result in a fluffier dish.
- Rinse the rice: Rinsing the rice removes excess starch, which can help prevent the rice from becoming sticky.
- Use a large skillet or wok: A large skillet or wok will allow the rice to spread out and cook evenly.
- Cook the rice over medium-high heat: Cooking the rice over medium-high heat will help to create a slightly crispy exterior while keeping the inside of the rice fluffy.
- Stir the rice frequently: Stirring the rice frequently will help to prevent it from sticking to the pan and will also help to distribute the heat evenly.
Conclusion:
Unfried brown rice is a healthy and delicious dish that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. It is also a great way to use up leftover rice. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a tasty and nutritious dish that the whole family will enjoy.
