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.

  1. Buy some brown rice. Basmati brown rice.
  2. Get 80g of rice and put it in a seive.
  3. Wash that shit.
  4. Drain off the excess water.
  5. Put 160g water in an saucepan that you have a reasonably tight-fitting lid for.
  6. Put the rice in the water.
  7. Add some salt. Couple of pinches. About 1/8 tsp.
  8. Put that watery rice on a highish heat. Maybe a medium heat, something like that. 10 out of 14 on my induction.
  9. 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.
  10. Leave it alone. Do not remove the lid.
  11. Seriously, leave that fucking lid on.
  12. 40 minutes after you turned the heat down, turn the heat off.
  13. After 10 minutes, it's good to go.
  14. Fluff with a fork, serve.
