Brown Rice instead of White Rice - part 3

for 2-4 people

Hello friends, the long awaited alternative way to cook brown rice is finally ready! Now you can cook it on stove top instead of oven. Not only eliminate using an oven, but also the amount of rice you may cook isn't limited by the size of a baking pan anymore.

The what's:
1 cup long-grain brown rice
1 tbsp cooking oil
2 cups water

The how's:
Rinse rice until water runs quite clear, which takes at least 3-4 times of rinsing. Drain out as much water as possible. Heat a frying pan with oil on high. Once heated, put rice into pan and fry. Keep stirring until water pretty much dried. Then transfer rice into a small/medium size pot. Add water. First cook on medium high. When water starts to boil (bubbles start to form), then turn down heat to low. Put on a lid and cook for one hour. Then turn off heat and leave for 5-15 minutes before serving.

Attention!
(1) Do not stir or disturb the rice in any way when cooking!
(2) If water is already boiling before turning down heat, put a pair of chopsticks on the pot before putting on the lid. This helps to prevent water from boiling over the pot.

Tip:
May refrigerate or freeze the cooked rice for later use.
