How to Wash and Cook Brown Rice | Fluffy Brown Rice

Wash the rice three times, discarding the cloudy water after each wash.

Gently agitate the rice while washing, avoiding rubbing to keep its nutrition.

Drain the water after the third wash.

Fill the basin with water and soak the rice for 15 minutes.

After soaking, transfer all the rice to the rice pot and wash down any grains stuck in the basin.

Spread the rice evenly in the rice pot.

Add water until it is approximately 1 and 1/4 inches above the rice.

Cover the rice pot, tilting the lid slightly to allow steam to escape.

Press the button to cook the rice, which will take around 15 to 20 minutes.

After about 8 minutes, check the rice; it should be boiling.

Allow it to continue boiling until the water dries up, which takes about 4 to 5 minutes.

Once the water has dried up, cover the pot to lock in the steam and let it cook.

After cooking, leave the rice in the pot for another 15 to 20 minutes to steam and become fluffier.

After 20 minutes, switch off the rice cooker and gently stir the rice with a ladle to loosen the grains.
