Long Grain Brown Rice

Long grain brown rice is a nutritious, whole-grain staple with the bran and germ intact, offering a nutty flavor and chewy texture. It is high in fiber, B vitamins, and iron, making it healthier than white rice. Commonly used in stir-fries, salads, and pilafs, it can be made quickly in an Instant Pot, a rice cooker, or on the stove. 

Method 1: Instant Pot

  1. Rinse 1 cup long grain brown rice to remove excess starch. 
  2. Combine with 1 1/4 cups water in an Instant Pot.
  3. Pressure cook for 20 minutes. 
  4. Allow Instant Pot to release pressure naturally (about 10 minutes). 
  5. Fluff with a fork and serve.

Method 2: Stovetop

  1. Rinse 1 cup long grain brown rice to remove excess starch.
  2. Combine rice with 2 cups water in a saucepan.
  3. Bring to boil, then cover and reduce heat to low and simmer for 35-40 minutes.
  4. Remove from heat and let it sit for 5-10 minutes before serving. 
  5. Fluff with a fork and serve.

Notes

  • Keep the same water-to-rice proportions when making larger batches.
