Brown rice retains the bran and germ layers, only removing the outer husk. Therefore, this type of rice contains many nutrients, providing health benefits. However, brown rice can be challenging to eat, especially for those who are new to it or lack experience in handling it. Let’s explore how to cook brown rice with Kamereo in the following article!
How to choose tasty brown rice
For a delicious meal, you need to choose high-quality brown rice. Below are some criteria you can refer to:
- Brown rice has a natural color, without signs of mixing or dyeing.
- Choose brown rice with the characteristic fragrance of fresh rice, avoiding rice with musty or other strange smells.
- Prioritize intact rice grains, not broken or shattered, with the outer layer still rough and shiny due to the bran layer protecting the outside.
- Buy brown rice from reputable sources such as stores, supermarkets, or manufacturers with quality certification. This ensures that the brown rice has a clear origin and meets safety and quality standards.
Remember that careful selection will help ensure the quality and deliciousness of the brown rice you choose to purchase.
How to cook non-drying and tasty brown rice
After selecting high-quality brown rice, you can cook it using one of the two methods below:
Cook brown rice with an electric rice cooker
Guide on cooking brown rice with an electric rice cooker:
Step 1: Place 1 cup of brown rice in the cooking pot and rinse it with clean water 2 to 3 times. Then, soak the brown rice in the pot for about 1 hour. This helps soften the rice for cooking.
Step 2: Next, place the cooking pot into the body of the electric rice cooker and add water higher than the rice by 1 finger joint. Close the rice cooker lid and set it to cook rice as usual until the rice is cooked. You should let the brown rice sit in the pot for an additional 15 – 20 minutes to ensure the grains are soft and tender.
Cook brown rice with a regular pot
Guide on cooking brown rice with a regular pot:
Step 1: Bring the brown rice and rinse it with water, then soak the rice for about 1 hour to ensure that the rice will be soft and tender after cooking. Place the rice in a pot with a thick bottom, add filtered water slowly, so the water level is higher than the rice by about 1 finger joint.
Step 2: Then, place the pot on the stove and heat it over medium heat. When the water in the pot is nearly evaporated, reduce the heat to the lowest until the rice is cooked. After the brown rice is cooked, let it sit in the pot for about 15 – 20 minutes to make the rice soft and tender.
Note: To evenly cook the rice, rotate the pot on the bottom and stir the rice regularly to avoid burning.
How to store brown rice for a long shelf life
If you accidentally cook too much brown rice that you cannot finish, store the remaining rice efficiently to avoid it becoming stale or moldy. You can divide the rice into small portions and place them in plastic containers. Then, put these containers in the refrigerator to maintain moisture and flavor. When reheating, you can steam or microwave it.
Note: You can store brown rice for about 5 – 7 days in the cool compartment of the refrigerator and even longer if stored in the freezer.
What to eat with brown rice?
Brown rice can be paired with various delicious dishes. Here are some suggestions for you to consider:
- Serve with sesame salt: Toast sesame seeds in a pan until golden. Mix roasted sesame seeds with salt in a ratio of 20:1 (teaspoons). Use this sesame salt to accompany brown rice for a unique and flavorful taste.
- Cook together with beans/lotus seeds: Cook brown rice and beans or lotus seeds at the same time. You can add spices and oil as desired to enhance the flavor. This is a way to make the rice tasty and rich in nutrients.
- Pair with braised, steamed, or boiled vegetables: Vegetables can be braised, steamed, or boiled depending on your preferences and dietary taste. This dish not only ensures a visually appealing taste but also provides sufficient nutrients.
