Directions

Description - Step 1

Step 1: Wash And Soak The Brown Rice

Wash the brown rice thoroughly until the water runs clear. Soak it in fresh water for at least 30 minutes, then drain. Soaking helps soften the bran layer and ensures the rice cooks down into a creamy congee rather than remaining grainy.
