How to Cook Brown Rice, Are You Looking?

Cooking brown rice can be a little tricky. Unlike white rice, brown rice still has mineral-rich layers of bran - the extra thickness means that brown rice takes longer to cook. For extra flavor, try cooking the rice in vegetable or chicken broth instead of water.
Difficulty: Easy
Time Required: 2 hours

Here's How:

  1. Soak 1 cup of brown rice for 1 hour and drain.
  2. Add the rice to a medium-sized saucepan and cook, uncovered, on medium-high heat until the rice is dry (2 - 3 minutes). Stir in a small amount of salt if desired.
  3. While dry cooking the rice, bring a kettle of water to a boil. Add 2 1/4 - 2 1/2 cups boiling water to the rice and wait for the water to return to a full boil.
  4. When the water has returned to a full boil, turn the heat down to medium-low (a range setting of about 3). Cover and cook the rice until the water is fully absorbed (about 40 minutes). Do not stir the rice.
  5. Remove the rice from the heat, and let sit, still covered, for at least 10 minutes.
  6. Fluff the rice with a fork and serve.

The most important tip in making fried rice is to use rice that has been previously cooked. Using previously cooked rice helps keep the dish from turning out wet or mushy. While you can use rice that has been cooked the night before, 2 or 3-day old rice is even better. Gently rub the rice between your finger to break up any clumps (this will help the rice cook more evenly).

Tips on cooking rice that is fluffy and won't stick to the bottom of the pan

Like hardboiling eggs, cooking rice is one of the those things that seems like it should be easy but can turn out to be quite difficult. Here are tips to help your rice turn out perfectly every time.

1. Use Long Grain Rice When Cooking Chinese Food

Medium grain rice is also acceptable, but the Chinese use short grain rice mainly for dishes such as congee.

2. Rinse the Rice

brand of rice you are using - but rinsing does remove any starch and excess residue that can cause the rice to turn out sticky or “gummy.” Also, I do find rinsing 2 or 3 times improves the flavor.

3. Cook the rice in a pot with a heavy bottom.

This will give the rice a thinner crust – copper is an excellent choice.

4. Don't use salt or butter when cooking plain rice

Adding seasonings to rice during cooking kills its natural sweet flavor.

5. Don't use Stale Rice

If your rice is taking longer than usual to cook, you may want to check how long it has been sitting in the cupboard. Older rice can lose some of its moisture, requiring more water and a longer cooking time than fresh rice.

6. On Nights When You're in a Rush, Soak the rice in cold water

Besides speeding up the cooking time, this will give the rice a softer, fluffier texture, so if you prefer rice with a firmer texture, save this for nights when you're in a real hurry.

7. Save Leftover Cooked Rice to Make Fried Rice

Leftover rice is perfect for making fried rice. Just be sure to follow food safety instructions for storing cooked rice – cool down and refrigerate the rice as quickly as possible, within a maximum of 1 1/2 hours (if necessary, divide the rice into separate dishes to help cool down more quickly).

8. Don't use Instant or Precooked Rice

Large bags of long grain white rice are available in Asian markets and most supermarkets - Dragon King is a good brand.
 

9. Experiment With Cooking Scented Rice

For a bit of variety, try one of the scented rices such as jasmine or basmati. Just remember that the amount of water required and the cooking time will be different than for other types of long grain white rice.
