Ingredients
  

  • 1 Cup Brown rice No need to rinse
  • 2 Cups Broth of your choice
  • 2 tsp Fat of your choice, olive oil, sesame oil, butter, etc
  • 1 tsp Optional soy sauce So nice if using sesame oil
  • ½ tsp Optional salt Omit if using soy sauce

Instructions
 

  • Bring all the ingredients in a medium sauce pan to a boil.
  • Cover with a lid and reduce the heat to medium low (on my stove this is level 3 out of 9).
  • Simmer covered for 45 minutes.
  • Remove the lid, trying to keep it level so condensation does not drip back in to the rice, fluff with a fork to see if there is remaining liquid.
  • If there is very very little to no liquid left and after tasting a grain or 2 the rice seem undercooked, add 2 Tbsp of water, return the lid and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
  • If there is more than a tsp or two of liquid return the lid and continue cooking for 5 more min.
  • Continue for another 5 minutes if needed, but eat a grain or 2 and see if the rice is cooked through. If there is a lot of liquid still, but the rice is cooked, it's best to strain out the remaining liquid using a sieve and returning it back to the pot and stove evaporate the remaining liquid on the rice. Take note of the temp used on your stove and next time bump it up by 1.
  • If there is less than a tsp of liquid left, turn the heat off and let the rice sit uncovered to evaporate and absorb the liquid, otherwise if there is very little to no liquid left, then you're ready to enjoy!
