Brown rice
Time: 45 minutesIngredients
- 2 cups brown rice
- 8 cups water
- About a teaspoon of salt
- About a Tablespoon of oil
Instructions
In a suitably sized pot, bring water to a boil.
Add the rice and reduce heat to medium.
Boil for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Strain the rice and return it to the pot, off the heat. Mix in the oil and salt.
Cover and let steam for 10 minutes, then fluff and serve.
Notes
I almost always use an Instant Pot to make brown rice, because it cuts the cooking time in half and it’s a bit easier.
