Prep Time: 2

Cook Time: 50

Total Time: 52

Yield: 5 servings

Course: Side Dish

Cuisine: American

Equipment

large pot

Ingredients

1 cup natural brown rice (I used long grain)
8 cups cold water
1 1/2 tsp kosher salt

Instructions

Rinse the rice with cold water for 30 seconds.
Bring the water and salt to a boil over high heat in a large heavy pot with a tight fitting lid.
When the water is boiling add the rice, stir and partially cover (don't cover complete or it will spill over) and cook on medium-high heat for 30 minutes.
Shut the heat off. Drain the rice in strainer, then quickly return to the pot and cover tightly for 20 minutes so the steam finishes cooking the rice.
Uncover the rice and fluff with a fork.

Notes

Makes about 3 1/2 cups. Different rice varieties may yield different amounts.
