How to cook brown rice
Serves 1. Scale accordingly.
The rule is twice as much water as rice by weight. Not by volume. By weight.
- Buy some brown rice. Basmati brown rice.
- Get 80g of rice and put it in a seive.
- Wash that shit.
- Drain off the excess water.
- Put 160g water in an saucepan that you have a reasonably tight-fitting lid for.
- Put the rice in the water.
- Add some salt. Couple of pinches. About 1/8 tsp.
- Put that watery rice on a highish heat. Maybe a medium heat, something like that. 10 out of 14 on my induction.
- When it's simmering put the heat down as low as it'll go, and put the lid on. 2 out of 14 on my hob seems to work.
- Leave it alone. Do not remove the lid.
- Seriously, leave that fucking lid on.
- 40 minutes after you turned the heat down, turn the heat off.
- After 10 minutes, it's good to go.
- Fluff with a fork, serve.
