Perfect Steamed Rice
The Perfect Steamed Rice Recipe
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 Cups brown rice
- 1 1/2 Cups white rice
Instructions
- Rinse the 1 1/2 cup of brown rice and allow it to soak in cold fresh water, just enough to cover for 1 hour.
- Rinse the White rice with water by filling a bowl and stirring the rice by hand. Drain and repeat until the water is clear.
- Add both rices into a saucepan. Using the palm of your hand, flatten the rice into an even layer. Add the water on top of the rice until it touches the top knuckle of your middle finger. About 2 1/2 inches.
- Cover this pan and bring to a boil and allow to cook at this boiling point for 10 minutes.
- Reduce the heat to a medium and allow to simmer for 30 minutes. Turn the heat off and allow the rice to stand for an additional 20 minutes covered. This will allow the rice to absorb all the water and be perfect and plump.
- Stir gently and serve.
Notes
