Step 1: Rinsing the Rice (optional)
Rinse the rice under cold water, if desired.
- 1 cup short-grain brown rice
Step 2: Cooking the Rice
Place the rice, salt and stock into a medium-sized pot. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the liquid comes to a boil, cover with a tight-fitting lid and turn the heat down to the lowest setting. Let cook for approximately 45 minutes, or according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- 2 1/2 to 3 cups stock (or water)
- 1 tsp kosher salt
Step 3: Resting & Serving the Rice
Once done, remove from the heat and drain the excess stock. Let rest for about 10 minutes. Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil, season with pepper, and gently fluff with a fork before serving.
- extra-virgin olive oil (for finishing)
- freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
Notes
This rice can also be cooked using the oven method or the rice cooker method.
