玄米 Brown Rice

This post includes all recipe we use for organic brown rice.

玄米 Brown rice is not nice to have if get cooked as raw brown rice, usually we wash briefly with water, and pan fry with lowest fire for around 4 hours  (for three cups) in a flat pan, until it turns brown brown color. Leave a little bit of water at the beginning so the pan does not dry out, and stir all the time before water dries up. Afterwards, just stir/shake occasionally to make sure all sides get cooked. If use for tea, we can cook it until it turn quite black brown, same on lowest fire.
