instead of boiling it a day or two b4, just soak it in the water a day b4 and keep it in the frig.

Brown Rice is nothing but regular rice, however it is not "hulled" therefore it has some of the husk which has not been milled off the kernel. That's why it takes a little longer to cook. Now. . . having said that, it doesn't take 45 minutes to cook, even in plain form. Just soak it. Place whatever amount you require for the dish or serving to soak in the morning before you need to cook that evening. Not only will the grains "blossom" a little, but the cooking time is reduced. Simple, neh?

WHO THE FUCK TAKES 45 MINUTES TO COOK BROWN RICE? Just get a box of Uncle Ben's Brown Rice and it's ready in 10-15 minutes if you know how to actually cook properly.

I like the regular rice more than this brown rice, . .

Why did you do that to the rice...? It could've gone to children in Africa?
