Ingredients

  • 8 cups water (or vegetable broth)
  • 1 cup uncooked brown rice
  • Salt (optional)
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Fill a large pot with 8 cups of water (or vegetable broth). Bring to a boil on high heat.
  • Meanwhile, measure 1 cup of brown rice. Rinse the rice well in a fine-mesh colander. Add to boiling water and give it a stir. Boil rice for 30 minutes, without stirring.
  • Remove the pot from the heat. Drain the rice and return it to the pot. Cover with a fitted lid (or aluminum foil) and allow it to rest for 10 minutes. (This allows the steam from inside the pot to finish cooking the rice.)
  • After the full 10 minutes, fluff with a fork. Add salt or other seasonings to taste. Serve warm and enjoy!
