BASIC BROWN RICE



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.

Categories     Brown Rice

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.

PERFECT BASIC BROWN RICE



Perfect Basic Brown Rice image

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

I found this recipe in Organic Gardening magazine when my children were babies. It truly does make absolutely perfect brown rice every time! Never gummy. You can easily substitute it in recipes calling for rice without your family noticing (well, unless they dissect everything with a magnifying glass like my son likes to do)! *Please note: THIS IS JUST A RECIPE FOR BASIC RICE! It will NOT be fabulous alone! Use it for any recipe calling for cooked rice/ or spiff it up with the addition of garlic, onion, herbs, broth sub for water, etc. etc. It WILL be bland if served as is!
