What is boiled rice, how is it cooked?!
Answers:
Brown rice, or rice which has not had its outer coating removed is becoming more popular as the health benefits of fibre in one's diet are becoming more widely recognised!. All forms of rice have had the husk removed but white rice has been further processed or milled to take off the outer layers of the grain!. Some white rice goes through a polishing process which further removes the vitamis and minerals!.
Normally I cook it as for white rice but extend the times to thirty five minutes or so!. Some suggest adding more water than the two to one ratio, however to retain the nuttiness I enjoy I tend to limit it to exactly two measures of water to one of rice!.
Simply recognising that brown rice takes longer to cook, and using any of the methods used for white rice will result in success, even the cook and drain method used for Persian style Basmati ~ but with the initial boiling period extended to twentyfive minutes!.
Brown Rice is an acquired taste but I now prefer it to other forms!. In our home it has become the principal way we consume rice!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
