Ingredients
- 2 cups brown rice
- 2 1/2 cups water
- 1 teapoon salt
Instructions
- Begin by rinsing your brown rice under cold water to remove excess starch, which helps prevent the rice from becoming too sticky.
- Transfer the rinsed rice to the pot of the Ninja Foodi. Add 1¼ cups of water or broth for every brown rice. This ratio ensures the rice cooks thoroughly and absorbs the liquid completely.
- Add a pinch of salt, and, if desired, a small amount of butter or oil. This will add flavor and a bit of richness to the rice.
- Secure the pressure cooker lid on the Ninja Foodi and set the valve to the 'seal' position. Choose the 'Pressure Cook' or 'Manual' setting, and set the brown rice timer for 22-25 minutes. The exact time might vary slightly depending on the type and brand of rice.
- Start the Ninja Foodi. It will take a few minutes to come up to pressure before the cooking time begins.
- Once the cooking time is up, allow the pressure to release naturally for at least 10 minutes. This step is crucial as it allows the rice to finish cooking and absorb any remaining steam and moisture.
- After the natural release, carefully turn the valve to 'vent' to release any remaining pressure. Open the lid and use a fork to fluff the rice. This helps to separate the grains and release any extra steam.
