Best brown rice recipe. Closest to white rice.

Hi Frances, Thank you so much for reading Nami’s post and trying her recipe.
Because uncooked brown rice is difficult to digest, some people may experience stomach pain.
You may fix it by adding extra water and cooking it longer, or use the microwave.
We hope this helps!

Can you get stomach ache if you eat brown rice grain that is a bit hard? I cooked brown rice with more white rice, let it soak for 35 mins. and cooked in regular rice cooker. Result: maybe a little more water was needed as it seemed a bit dry and when i ate it, the brown rice crunched (half cooked?). I did not see this video before and thought brown rice would cook like the white rice. Is there a way to cook it again?

Hi Dene, Thank you for taking the time to test Nami’s recipe!
The ratio of 200 mL water to 160 mL rice yields softer rice.
If your rice volume is 160 mL, your water volume should be around 180 mL (160 mL x 1.1 = 176 mL).
Rice:Water = 1:1.1
But, as Nami indicated in the note, the rice-water ratio, cooking time, and heat level vary according to the type of cooktop, the type/age of rice, and the season of the year. Please modify it to your liking.
We hope this was useful!

A question about matching rice to water amounts. At present the recipe says the same volume of water regardless which rice cup you use. For example on my screen i see

2 Rice Cooker Cups
▢ 2 rice cooker cups brown rice (180 ml x 2 = 360 ml; 160 g x 2 = 320 g)
▢ 400 ml water

I’m going to try 200ml per 160ml of rice for now but wondering what difference it will make if the ratio is wrong?

Thanks for the great instant pot recipes!
