These instructions are for fast rice, and you make enough to freeze. See notes below
Equipment
- Large pot, or rice cooker with a lid.
- Fork
Ingredients
- 2 Cups Brown Rice
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
- 5 Cups Filtered or tap water
Instructions
- In a large pot, start your water to a boil. Turn the heat up to high.
- Next, wash your rice, I do about three to four rinses. If you have a strainer, pour your rice in it to rinse.
- Then, pour the clean rice into your pot
- Add the olive oil and cover your rice with the lid.
- Let your rice cook on medium to medium high high heat for 15 minutes.
- After 15 minutes, check to see that the water has absorbed, if not you are good to go! Cook for an additional 10 minutes until done.
- Grab your fork to test the rice, if its nice and soft, its done. If it appears hard, or "aldente" add a bit more water, and cook it on medium for 5 minutes more until that water is absorbed and the rice is done.
Notes
*If you are making lots of rice, you can multiply the times and the amounts.
*When cooking brown rice fast, you need 1 cup more water than listed on the package.
ONCE COOLED :
Store rice at 2-3 cups in a quart sized freezer bags. Than put those bags into a larger freezer bag to keep them together. Don't forget to date the bag!
