How do you substitute brown rice for white?

To substitute brown rice for white rice in a recipe, use the same amount of brown rice as you would white rice. Here are a few tips for cooking brown rice:

- Brown rice takes longer to cook than white rice, so you will need to adjust the cooking time accordingly.

Generally, brown rice takes about twice as long to cook as white rice.

- Brown rice has a nuttier flavor than white rice, so it can change the taste of the dish.

- Be sure to rinse the brown rice thoroughly before cooking to remove any excess starch.

- Brown rice can be cooked in a rice cooker, saucepan, or even in the microwave.

- Because it's a whole grain, brown rice does not cook and absorb water evenly like refined grains such as white rice and it may seem dry or have a “toothy” texture. To cook tender brown rice, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the brown rice, stir, and reduce the heat to low. Simmer, covered, for about 40 minutes, or until the rice is tender and all of the water has been absorbed.
