How to cook brown rice on stove top

long grain brown rice

🥗Healthier: quinoa

💰Cheaper: white rice

Quinoa adds protein and fiber, while white rice is often less expensive.

Heat 2 cups of water in a pot on high heat.

Add 1.5 tablespoons of salt to the water.

Wait about 3 minutes until the water starts boiling.

Once boiling, add 1 cup of brown rice to the pot.

Turn the heat down to low and cover the pot with a lid.

Let it cook covered for about 35 minutes, checking occasionally without disturbing too much.

After 35 minutes, remove the lid and check the rice.

If the rice is still hard or crunchy, add a little more water and cover to cook longer.

Stir the rice to fluff it up before serving.
