Ingredients
Scale
- 6 cups water
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 1½ cups long grain brown rice
Instructions
- In a large pot, combine the water and salt, then bring to a boil over high heat.
- Thoroughly rinse the rice in a fine mesh sieve and add it to the boiling water.
- Reduce heat to maintain a low boil and cook for 30-35 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Once the rice is al dente, strain it through a fine mesh sieve for about 10 seconds to remove excess water.
- Return the rice to the pot, cover with a lid, and let it rest for 3-5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork before serving.
Notes
Ensure the rice is well rinsed to remove excess starch for better texture.
Adjust the cooking time if using different types of brown rice, as some may require longer or shorter times.
For extra flavor, consider adding herbs or spices during cooking.
