1. After soaking time is completed,wash and rinse rice and drain using a fine-mesh strainer. (for soaking instructions see “Simple Brown Rice Soaking”). If you didn’t soak the rice just wash it a couple of times till water becomes clear and proceed with regular cooking. NOTE: previously soaked rice needs less water than not-soaked rice.

2. Place drained rice in medium saucepan and add approximately 1 3/4 cups water (or * broth). Bring to a boil. Then, immediately cover and reduce heat until you achieve a gentle simmer. If you have a rice maker, just  follow the water amount indicated ( usually 1 cup of rice 1 1/2 cup of water)
