Introduction

Brown rice is a healthy, gluten-free whole grain that’s packed with protein and fiber. It’s also a staple in many diets because of its versatility and ability to be incorporated into many recipes.

To freeze: Cook the brown rice according to your favorite method, let cool completely and then divide into 1-cup portions (or whatever size you’d like).

The minimum amount required for this recipe is 3/4 cup liquid per cup of uncooked Brown Rice – so if you have more than that and want to add more flavors into your dish, go for it! Just keep in mind that adding too much extra liquid may cause burning or boiling over during cooking time which can be dangerous if left unattended on high heat settings like “sauté” or “browning” mode so don’t overdo it with too much flavor!

If using an acidic ingredient such as tomatoes or lemon juice then try substituting some other ingredients instead such as chicken stock (or vegetable stock) since they will help prevent scorching while still imparting great flavor into your dish!
