brown rice cooking method
A few years ago, I decided I would eat only whole wheat bread/pasta and brown rice at home. The bread was easy! I am still struggling with the pasta--usually compromise with high fiber pasta. I have learned to really like brown rice, but I never really thought it was easy to cook well. Then one day I read about this method — it always makes perfect brown rice.

How To Make brown rice cooking method
-
1Pick out a heavy, large pan with a tight fitting lid.
-
2Add all the ingredients; bring to a boil; put lid on pan, setting it partially off to the side. Turn heat to medium low. Water should continue at a slow simmer. Set timer for 30 minutes.
-
3After 30 minutes, pour rice and water into a colander. Quickly add rice back to pan. Cover tightly! Set timer for 20 minutes. No additional heat is needed. Rice will continue to steam to make perfect brown rice. Fluff with a fork when the time is up.
-
4Note: After letting the rice cool, I put it in 1 cup freezer containers. It freezes well. When you need rice, just turn it out of the freezer container into a microwave-safe dish, cover, and microwave on high for 1+ minutes until it's hot.
- Last Step: Don't forget to share! Make all your friends drool by posting a picture of your finished recipe on your favorite social network. And don't forget to tag Just A Pinch and include #justapinchrecipes so we can see it too!
