How to Make Brown Rice - The Frugal Chef

brown rice

🥗Healthier: quinoa

💰Cheaper: white rice

Quinoa is higher in protein, while white rice is often less expensive.

Add 2 cups of brown rice to a pot.

Add a heaping teaspoon of garlic powder to the rice.

Pour in 4.5 cups of chicken broth.

Add 1 tablespoon of butter (optional).

Bring the mixture to a boil.

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot.

Set a timer for 30 minutes and do not open the pot during cooking.

After 30 minutes, check if all the liquid is absorbed; if not, let it cook a little longer.

Once cooked, fluff the rice with a fork.
