This is just plain brown rice - I serve it with curries and stir frys as a healthier alternative to plain white rice. I don't remember any more where I got this recipe, but it has worked the best of any brown rice cooking directions that I have found.
Ingredients:
2 cups brown rice
3 cups water
1/2 teaspoon 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.
