1 ½ rice cups plain brown rice
1 ⅕ cups (284 ml / 9.6 fl oz) water (1.05 cups of water per cup of rice)
Pour rice into a fine-mesh strainer set over a bowl and rinse until the water runs clear. Drain well. Transfer the rice to the pot and add the measured amount of water (1.05 cups of water per cup of rice). Cover and let soak for about 6 hours.
Reduce to very low heat and simmer for 25 minutes, then turn off the heat. Let the rice steam, covered, in residual heat for another 10 minutes.
Loosen the cooked rice by cutting the rice into quarters and folding each quarter using a rice spatula before serving.
