Step 1

Begin by making your brown rice. If you are using precooked brown rice, please disregard this step. Place brown rice and water in a medium pot and bring to a boil over medium/high heat. Once boiling, reduce heat to low and cover. Let simmer for around 35 to 40 minutes or until water is fully absorbed.
