Brown Rice That Doesn’t Suck (Really)

So some of us love brown rice and some of us just endure it cause it’s healthy.  I’ll admit that it can be a bland, gummy disaster but by following the recipe below you’ll end up with the perfect rice 98% of the time.

Remember, rice is chill in the fridge for a few days, so make extra and have that fiber hanging out for when you need it. It’s great to throw into a salad, for a quick grain bowl with or even with some over easy eggs.
