Are you tired of sticky and gloopy rice? Are you looking for a healthier alternative to white rice? Wholegrain rice might be the perfect choice for you! Packed with fiber, nutrients, and a nutty flavor, this delicious grain is a great addition to any meal. In this step-by-step guide, we’ll show you how to cook perfect wholegrain rice every time.

Gather Your Ingredients

Before you begin cooking, make sure you have all the necessary ingredients:

  • 1 cup of wholegrain rice
  • 2 cups of water
  • Salt (optional)

Measure and Rinse the Rice

Start by measuring 1 cup of wholegrain rice and transferring it to a fine-mesh sieve. Rinse the rice thoroughly under cold water to remove any excess starch. This step will help prevent the rice from becoming sticky during cooking.

Soak the Rice (Optional)

Soaking the rice can help reduce the cooking time and make it easier to digest. Fill a bowl with enough water to completely submerge the rice and let it soak for at least 30 minutes. After soaking, drain the rice using the fine-mesh sieve.

Boil the Water

In a medium-sized pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. You can add a pinch of salt to the water for some extra flavor, although this step is optional.

Add the Rice to the Boiling Water

Once the water is boiling, carefully add the rinsed or soaked rice to the pot. Give it a quick stir to ensure all the grains are submerged in the water.

Reduce the Heat and Cover

Reduce the heat to low and cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid. This will trap the steam and allow the rice to cook evenly.

Simmer and Cook

Let the rice simmer on low heat for about 40-45 minutes. Avoid lifting the lid while the rice is cooking, as this can disrupt the cooking process and result in unevenly cooked grains.

Fluff and Serve

After the cooking time is up, remove the pot from the heat and let it sit, covered, for an additional 5 minutes. This allows the rice to steam and become even more tender. Finally, grab a fork and gently fluff the rice to separate the grains. Serve it as a side dish or as a base for your favorite stir-fries, curries, or salads.

Now that you know how to cook wholegrain rice, it’s time to put your newfound knowledge to use in the kitchen. Enjoy the nutty flavor, chewy texture, and the numerous health benefits of this wholesome grain!
