Fragrant Brown Rice

Description

Cooking Instruction:
1. Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch and any impurities, resulting in fluffier and less sticky rice. (You can also soak it a couple of hours)

2. Measure the water: Use 1.5 to 1.8 cups of water for every cup of rice. Adjust the amount of water according to your desired texture (more water for softer rice, less water for firmer rice).

3. Cook the rice: In a saucepan or a rice cooker, combine the rinsed rice, water. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the pan with a tight-fitting lid. Allow the rice to simmer gently for about 15-20 minutes, or until the water is fully absorbed and the rice is tender.

4. Let it rest: Once the rice is cooked, remove it from the heat and let it rest, covered, for about 5-10 minutes. This resting period allows the rice to steam and become fluffier.

5. Fluff the rice: After resting, remove the lid and use a fork to gently fluff the rice, separating the grains. This step helps prevent clumping and ensures each grain is light and airy.

6. Serve and enjoy: Fragrant rice is ready to be served as a side dish or as a base for various recipes. Its enticing aroma will enhance your meals and make them more enjoyable.
