Brown Rice

I've gotten out of the habit of eating white rice, but brown rice takes forever to cook. I found this method of cooking the rice online, so I make a bunch of it, and freeze it into single-serving sizes. For a single person, it's fantastic!

Brown Rice
Water

Use 4 cups of water for every cup of rice you want to cook.

Rinse rice in a strainer under cold running water for 30 seconds.

Bring water to a boil in a large pot with a tight-fitting lid over high heat.

Add the rice, stir it once, and boil, uncovered, for 30 minutes.

Pour the rice into a strainer over the sink.

Let the rice drain for 10 seconds, then return it to the pot, off the heat.

Cover the pot and set it aside to allow the rice to steam for 10 minutes.

Uncover the rice, fluff with a fork, and serve. (Or, in my case, package it into 1/2 cup servings and freeze it!)
