HUNTSVILLE, Ala. (WHNT) - T he south end of Memorial Parkway will see big change next year. The city of Huntsville will be accepting bids on a project to build an overpass in early 2015.
Bring 1 1/2 cups water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Stir in rice and salt and return to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover, and cook until rice is tender and has absorbed all the liquid, 16 to 18 minutes (check only toward the end of cooking time). The rice should be studded with craters, or steam holes, when it is ready. Remove from heat and let steam, covered, for 10 minutes.
It should be al dente. So as you can see, cooking brown rice can be as easy and quick as giving it a rinse and cooking for 30 minutes, or it can take as long as a day and a half to soak and prepare the rice for that final 30 minutes of actual cooking time. It is up to you how much effort you want to put into it.
