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.
Remember brown rice needs more water than white rice to cook its firm grain. As a rule of thumb, 1 cup of white rice needs roughly 1 â â 2 cups water (check the packet to be sure, different types and brands can vary) and 1 cup of brown rice uses 2 â 3 Â½ cups of water (I never measure my white rice though).o soak your rice, pop one cup of rice into 1 Â½ cups water with 2 tablespoons of some type of acid (I use lemon juice as I always have a lemon in my kitchen, but you can also use yoghurt, kefir or vinegar). Soak the rice overnight, then drain and cook as you normally would.
