Measure rice in a measuring cup
- 1 rice measuring cup = 180ml/150gmeasuring cup
- Add water to wash the rice
Tip #1 Rub gently
- Rub the brown rice gently while washing
- It helps each rice grain absorb water, resulting in softer rice
- Change the water and repeat washing for 1-2 minutes
Tip #2 Soak Longer
- Soak the rice longer than white rice, at least 2 hours
- It allows it to soak up more moisture and maximize flavor.
Drain the water
- Remove it to a pot
Tip #3 Use cold water
- Add water: 270 - 300ml per 1 rice measuring cup
- Use cold water or water with ice cubes for cooking
- The water temperature rises gradually, allowing the rice to absorb moisture at a steady pace
- Placing the rice in the refrigerator when presoaking also helps
Tip #4 Keep the lid on
- Keep the lid on, let the steam cook the rice tender
