Ingredients:

  • 2 cups brown rice
  • 3 cups water
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Directions:

  1. Put water in a medium sauce pan that has a lid.
  2. Add salt and rice and stir once.
  3. Heat to a full rolling boil.
  4. Place lid on pan and reduce heat to simmer (my stove only does a very high simmer).
  5. Simmer for 20 minutes. *Do not lift lid or stir.*.
  6. Turn off heat. *Do not lift lid or stir.*.
  7. 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.
