Brown rice: more water, longer cook
Brown rice keeps its bran layer, so a cup weighs about 190 g and needs more water and time than white rice. Use roughly 1 part rice to 2¼ parts water, simmer covered for about 40–45 minutes, then rest. Like white rice, a cup of dry grain cooks up to about 3 cups.
The bran also means it spoils faster — store brown rice in a sealed container, ideally in the fridge, to keep the oils from going rancid.
