...I used to have trouble cooking brown rice...(white rice cooks perfectly and quickly using Julia Child's method
here)...
...but brown rice wasn't the same...it needed more water and even if I increased the steaming time it was still crunchy...so I would add more water and cook it some more...and basically end up with mush...
...until I saw
this method...you basically cook it like pasta in a lot of boiling water...
...and then strain it...
...and voila...perfect tender (done) fluffly brown rice...
~Have a lovely day!
I love brown rice and I cook it with a vegetable stock cube and I mix it with green cabbage when it's cooked. Delicious!
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of rice - loose link I know - I am reading 'A House in Pondicherry' by Lee Langley and so far I am enjoying it. It was a recommendation from Vintage Vixen a very sweet lady and lover of India. http://vintagevixon.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/Books
I hesitate to say but I thought Pondicherry was in Wales!
ReplyDeletewhat a great tip!
ReplyDeleteOh that's interesting. I've never seen brown rice cooked this way before. I just put mine in a rice cooker and add more water if needed. It always comes out just right.
ReplyDeleteYour knitting looks gorgeous! I love to knit, too, and you're making me want to pull out my needles!
