Preparing Brown Rice to use in white rice recipes, even sushi!

The past couple years I’ve followed this method for exchanging brown rice for white rice in recipes. In essence, you bring the water to a boil, pour in the amount of brown rice you want to use, and then turn down the heat so you have a rolling simmer. Continue to cook the brown rice between 10 and 15 minutes before removing it from the heat. I have found that 12 minutes works perfectly for me. You may need to search how much time is good for you. You then remove the pot from the stove and strain the rice. Now you may use this rice as you would use uncooked rice in any white rice recipe.

Vegan Sushi “Tacos” (Leftover Brown Rice Recipe)

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cooked jasmine brown rice
  • ½ large avocado
  • 2 tablespoons seasoned rice wine vinegar
  • 1 cucumber, peeled and grated or diced
  • 1 large carrot, grated or diced
  • 2 sheets nori, cut into quarters
  • 1 teaspoon furikake (optional)
  • sriracha

Instructions

  1. In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the rice, vinegar, and avocado. Add the cucumber and carrot, and stir. Cut your nori sheets into quarters.
  2. Serve the nori squares alongside the rice and veggie mixture. Individuals can spoon about ⅓ cup of rice mixture into each nori square and then top with sriracha. The rice mixture can be made ahead, but I do not recommend assembling the “tacos” in advance.
