I am not a big fan of brown rice. I prefer white rice in everything, but I have to switch to brown rice per the doctor’s advice. I am not sure if adding all of the spices and salt will be the doctor’s approval, but boy, this Rice Cooker Black Bean and Brown Rice Recipe took the cake for me. This has been the recipe I have been using since my family loves it too.

CAN YOU COOK BROWN RICE IN A RICE COOKER?

There ae different types of rice cooker and some settings have “brown rice” setting in it; so you can just push that button and let the rice cooker do the cooking. If your rice cooker doesn’t have the brown rice setting, just add 4 cups of  water per 2 cups of brown rice. Note that this has extra water, to accommodate the black beans too. If you are not adding beans, add 3 cups water for 1 cup of rice.

COOKING BROWN RICE STOVETOP

When I was in the Philippines, we did not have a rice cooker at all, so we cook our rice stovetop. And it did not even occur to me to measure the water using cups.

I was just taught to measure the water using my finger.

I was actually surprised that after 23 years of marriage, I  saw my husband last month, using cup to measure the water. 🙂 There is still so much to learn from a spouse.

But to make sure, when you are cooking Brown Rice stovetop:

1 cup of rice plus 4 cups water —- NOTE THAT YOU STILL HAVE TO WATCH IT

Make sure that you cook the rice in medium-low

When the brown rice is dry and the grains are still not cooked, set fire to low and add 1/4 cup water. Add more if needed.
