Basic Brown Rice - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 cups brown rice
3 cups water
1/2 teaspoon salt

Preparation

Put water in a medium sauce pan that has a lid.
Add salt and rice and stir once.
Heat to a full rolling boil.
Place lid on pan and reduce heat to simmer (my stove only does a very \"high\" simmer).
Simmer for 20 minutes. *Do not lift lid or stir.*.
Turn off heat. *Do not lift lid or stir.*.
Let sit at least 10 minutes before serving. The longer you let it sit, the more the rice improves. I often lift the lid and fluff-stir the rice at 10 minutes, then replace the lid and let the rice rest while I prepare the rest of the meal.
