Perfectly Cooked Brown Rice Recipe

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Once or twice a week, we try to cook something healthy. Although, we don’t eat out that much, and whatever we make at home, is quite healthy, but when I decide to switch to brown sugar from white sugar or from butter to olive oil, that means I am on a full time getting healthy and fit spree. That is the time when my hubs and kiddo hide behind the couch or a closet, since that’s what I am going to feed them.

So, this time it was switching from white rice to brown rice at least once a week. As soon as I found out the health benefits of brown rice, I was all gaga over making this healthy grain. Even though white rice was once brown rice but the process to convert makes it lose lots of it’s nutritional value.

Well, I got myself a big bag of nice brown rice. Thinking it was just as simple to cook as white rice, I followed the whole white rice cooking procedure.

And that, my friends, was a big mistake!

Yeah, cooking brown rice is not that simple. In my first and later attempts, they looked too mushy and overmixed.
