Instructions

• Place 1 cup long-grain brown rice in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse under cold running water for about 30 seconds, swishing with your hand until the water runs clearer; drain well.
• Transfer the rinsed rice to a wide, shallow pot with a tight-fitting lid. Add 1 1/4 cups water and 1/4 teaspoon salt, and stir once to combine.
• Set the pot over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil, uncovered.
• Once boiling, cover the pot, reduce the heat to low so it simmers gently, and cook undisturbed for 30 minutes.
• After 30 minutes, turn off the heat and let the rice rest, still covered, for 10 minutes.
• Remove the lid, fluff the rice with a fork, and serve warm.
