Notes
Basic Brown Rice
1 cup brown rice
1 ¼ cups water
1 teaspoon sea salt Add the rice, water, and sea salt to a pot over medium flame. Place a lid on the pot, allowing a little bit of air to escape on the side so that it does not boil over. Cook for about 30 to 40 minutes. Resist the urge to stir the rice as this makes it mushy. Once the rice has absorbed all the water, the rice should be soft. If it is still hard, add about ¼ cup of water and let it cook for an additional 5 minutes. Once the rice is done, turn off the heat and let it sit, covered, for at least 5 minutes before serving.
