The Better Perfect Brown Rice

July 22, 2013

Brown rice is an absolute staple of my diet, but cooking it properly has not always been easy for me. Before discovering my new method, there was a 70% chance the rice would turn out burned or mushy. Since I eat this on a regular basis I forced my self to experiment with different methods that would yield perfect results every time. After a couple months of searching I finally found the way to make the perfect brown rice.

RECIPE
INGREDIENTS for rice
Brown rice (doesn't matter what kind)
Water

DIRECTIONS for rice
1. Bring water to a rolling boil
2. Rinse rice with cool water, then add to boiling water
3. Continue to cook on medium high for 30 minutes uncovered
4. Quickly drain excess water from rice, return the rice to the pot, then cover with foil and lid
5. Allow the covered rice to sit for 10 minutes covered with burner OFF
6. Remove lid and serve 

NOTES
-Carefully toss the mango black bean salsa with a large spoon so it does not become a mushy mess
-Make sure not to overcook shrimp or it will be rubbery (ick!) instead of tender (yum!)

    1. Why thank you! The font is called Bombshell Pro. It's the only font I own that I have had to pay for (it comes with a lot of extra wingdings and lettering options). If you type "bombshell pro font" into google you can find it almost anywhere.
