Brown rice (or: I swear I'm not this dumb)
I have tried to cook brown rice a few times, and EVERY time I do, no matter how long I boil it, it ends up crunchy. Is there some magical powers you have to have for it to turn out right? I NEVER have a problem with white rice, but I'm trying to cut out the "whites".
Re: Brown rice (or: I swear I'm not this dumb)
Are you doing it in the microwave or on the stove?
When we cook it on the stove, we boil the water, and add a *LITTLE* oil and maybe some seasoning (salt, Adobo, etc). When it's good and boiling, add the rice. When the water boils down to the rice (like it barely bubbles above the rice), cover with a piece of aluminum and secure with a lid tightly. Turn stove to low or simmer, for approx. 45 minutes.
Hope that helps!
I think brown rice takes more water...like a 2.5:1 ratio (or 3:1 ratio) where white is usually a 2:1 ratio.
Make sure you cover the pot so the steam stays in there too. Don't peek!
