Steps

35 mins

1

Wash the measured brown rice and drain.
2

Add washed rice into a pan and add water. If you are using old rice, use more water.
3

Bring it to boil. Stire the rice a couple of times and put the lid on. Then, simmer for 10-15 mins until the water almost disappears. For my induction cooker whose lowest setting does not get quite low enough, it takes about 10 mins, so I set it as 10 mins timer, but if your cooker has lower heart, it would take longer
4

Add 100ml of cold water (Bikkuri Mizu びっくり水 or surprise water). You can adjust the amount of the water according to your taste: more water to make it softer and less water to make them harder.
5

Stir it a couple of times and simmer for 10 mines with a lid on. And leave another 10 mins to rest without disturbing. So, I usually set the induction cooker timer as 10 mins with the lowest heat and set another timer for 20 mins which tells me when it is ready.
