Instructions

• Place 1 cup long grain brown rice in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse under cold running water for about 30 seconds, rubbing the grains with your fingers; drain well.
• Transfer the rinsed rice to a wide, shallow pot with a tight-fitting lid. Add 1 1/4 cups water and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
• Set the pot over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil, uncovered.
• Once boiling, immediately cover the pot and reduce the heat to low so the rice simmers gently.
• Cook, covered, on low heat for 30 minutes without lifting the lid.
• Turn the heat off and let the rice rest, still covered, for 10 minutes.
• Remove the lid, fluff the rice with a fork, and serve warm.
