Ingredients

Ingredients for Brown Rice
  • 1 1/2 cups long-grain brown rice
  • 3 cups water
  • 3/4 tsp kosher salt

What the best recipes taught us

  • Give brown rice a full 45 minutes. Brown rice needs that time so the grains cook through.
  • Rinse the rice before it cooks. That rinse is what keeps the grains separate.
