Add your brown rice to a pot and fill it with filtered water.

Turn the heat to a simmer and allow the water to reach 149ºF. If you don't have a cooking thermometer, I reached the desired temperature on my electric stovetop with a 2.5 to 3 heat level.

Soak the rice for six hours. No need to stir or cover the rice as it soaks.

After soaking, rinse the rice until the water runs clear and cook as usual. Remember, soaked rice will be softer and cook faster, so watch your rice carefully.
