50/50 HOUSE RICE

From Ming Tsai

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Rinse 1½ cups brown rice and soak it in fresh cold water to cover for 1 hour. Transfer the rice to a medium saucepan.

2. Put 1½ cups white rice in a large bowl in the sink. Rinse the rice by filling the bowl with cold water and stirring the rice with your hand. Drain and repeat until the water in the bowl is clean. Transfer the rice to the same saucepan.

3. Flatten the rice with your palm and without removing it, add water until it touches the highest knuckle of your middle finger. Cover and boil over high heat for 10 minutes. Lower the heat to medium and simmer for 30 minutes.

4. Turn off the heat and let the rice stand, covered, to plump, for 20 minutes.

5. Stir gently and serve.

Note: You can also use your pressure cooker to cook rice. Be sure to use included RICE MEASURE CUP along with REMOVABLE POT markings. PRESSURE COOK for 6 minutes.
