Ingredients

Recipe Description: 

Although this recipe may sound plain, it is rich with savory flavor and surprisingly satisfying.   I've been known to eat this for breakfast by itself! It is also a great dinner accompaniment to sautéed greens and cooked black beans. 

1
cup
short-grain brown rice, uncooked
(190
g)
14
cup
pecan pieces
(27
g)
Directions: 
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F/177°C.
  2. Combine water and rice in sauce pan. Cover and cook over medium-high heat.
  3. When Vapo-Valve™ clicks, reduce heat to low and cook for 50 minutes.
  4. Place pecan pieces on a cookie sheet and place in the oven for 4 - 5 minutes. Watch pecans to make sure they don't burn.
  5. Once the pecans are heated, place them in a small bowl and stir in the soy sauce.
  6. When rice is finished cooking, move to a bowl and stir in the pecans and remaining soy sauce. Cover with a plate to keep the rice moist until eating.
