We've had plenty of threads about white rice, but what does /ck/ do with its brown rice? I've seen plenty of people complain that it tastes like cardboard and therefore should never be eaten, but I've always just assumed that they're using too much water. For white rice I'm certain that the correct ratio is 1.5 times as much water as rice, with a tight lid on the pan, while most people in the west would say 2 times and no lid, so I can only assume that they make the same error for brown. What's /ck/'s ratios?

2 cups of water for 1 cup of brown rice, low heat, lid on

Glad to hear it, that's exactly what I was going to try.

Just to check, brown rice keeps in the fridge for as long as white, right?

White rice is easier to digest, dont fall for the extra fiber meme you dont actually need much daily fiber at all

I don't know, but I'd never keep either kind of cooked rice for more than a couple of days

I cook it in chicken stock in my rice cooker. My wife always asks me how it comes out so moist. It's pretty good. I could definitely eat more of it but I never know what to pair it with.

Depending on who you ask it shouldn't be a problem. The most conservative limit that I've seen is the NHS saying "no more than 24 hours", although most places will say that you're fine up to 48 hours and I've seen a good number of places say "4-6 days".
