Can I Use Brown Rice instead of White Rice?
The short answer is Yes. However, changing the type of rice for a recipe can be tricky, as different types of rice can require different cooking methods, liquid and time to cook.
One of the most common questions asked is if brown rice can be used in place of white rice.
White long grain rice requires a 1:2 ratio of rice to water. (1 cup of rice needs 2 cups of water to cook).
Brown rice typically requires more water (about 1:2.5 ratio) as well as a longer cook time to result in a fluffy rice.
The longer answer – you can swap in the brown rice for white rice, but increase the liquid a little and expect it to take a little longer to fully absorb all the liquid.
Tips for Making Garlic Parmesan Rice in a skillet:
My favorite type of rice to use for skillet rice is Jasmine, which is a long grain white rice.
For best texture rinse the rice with water prior to toasting in the skillet. This will reduce the amount of stickiness you get when it’s finished cooking.
To get the most flavor out of your rice, start by toasting the rice in the skillet before adding any wet ingredients to the pan.
I like this rice so much because it’s a little creamy, super flavorful, and ultra simple to make. You can increase or decrease the amount of garlic flavor by adjusting that to taste.
