Ingredients
▢
1
cup
natural brown rice
▢
8
cups
cold water
▢
1 ½
teaspoons
salt
Instructions
Rinse the rice under cold water for 30 seconds.
In a heavy pot with a tight fitting lid, bring the water and salt to a boil over high heat.
When the water is at a full boil, add the rice and stir.
Partially cover the pot with the lid (you don't want it to boil over) and cook on medium-high for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes, drain the rice in a colander, then quickly return it to the pot.
Cover the pot tightly and let it steam (off the heat) for 20 minutes.
Uncover and fluff the rice with a fork.
