Po Po sayswhy we make this
“The everyday postpartum grain across Chinese regional traditions. Brown rice is the warmer, more filling cousin of white rice and pairs naturally with the long-simmered soups and sesame-oil mains that anchor the month.”

1 cup (200g)
Brown rice (long-grain) 糙米
rinsed and soaked 30 min
small pinch, optional
Sea salt 盐
Method · 做法
1
Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Soak for 30 minutes (this softens the bran layer and shortens cooking time).
2
Drain. Combine the rice with 2½ cups (550ml) of fresh water in a heavy-bottomed pot or rice cooker.
3
Stovetop: bring to a boil, reduce to a low simmer, cover tightly, and cook 30 to 35 minutes until the water is absorbed. Off heat, leave covered for 10 more minutes.
4
Rice cooker: brown-rice setting, about 50 minutes total.
5
Fluff with a fork. Serve warm with any savoury main.
