You should boil the water, add the rice, then let it all come to a boil, then simmer for up to 40 minutes. I'm a real Lundberg fan---all of their rices. This is my favorite and I make it on a weekly basis. Use the rice cooking standard, which is 2 cups of water for 1 cup of rice. Periodically stir and you should do just as you did in removing from the stove when it is just about finished.
This is my favorite rice. I must say, I've never had your problem of it finishing too quickly. But after boiling the water/broth, I immediately set my burner to low. Cooking it in broth, adding a touch of butter, and some sambal oelek and you have a delicious side dish for a healthful meal. This rice takes forever to digest so it helps keep you feeling full and doesn't spike your insulin levels.
WASH the rice over a fine mesh strainer while massaging the grains until the water runs clear. Because there are brown and other darker rice grains, it should be soaked in a lime juice-water solution overnight (1 cup rice to 2 cups water+ 2 tablespoons line juice) in a covered saucepan. Next day, drain off and rinse well, all that solution. If possible, put the water to start boiling in an enameled cast iron covered pan, add the rice (no salt) but don’t put the lid on until you see little crater-like holes forming. Immediately, drop the burner setting down to simmer. Make sure your stove burner size isn’t larger than the bottom size of your pan. In the past, all my attempts to cook either brown or wild rice resulted in firm, chewy and hard grains. About a year ago, I tried this method and ended up with perfectly fluffy brown rice with every attempt.). Try it, you might feel like dancing on the ceiling when you lift the lid to your saucepan and fluff that beautiful rice with a fork (never fluff with a spoon or bamboo rice paddle).
So I sautéd diced onion and fresh celery including the leaves in the butter till onion was translucent. Then I toasted the rice for a minute or two in the mixture and then added water. I then added a little “better than chicken bullion” to the water and stored. I did have to check on it at the 35 min mark , and then waited for the last ten minutes . It was delicious.... perfect for a substitute for stuffing or a side . I had mine with Tri tip and a corn on the cob
Great video. Enjoying Lundberg's $5 cultivated wild rice blend encouraged me to buy wild rice harvested by hand using canoes in Minnesota, so they claim. At $15 per pound and 30-45 minutes cook time it's not for the faint of heart, but it's the only rice I'll buy going forward. In a pinch, I can go back to Lundberg's. And I like to use 1 tbsp. each soy sauce, fish sauce, chicken stock paste and 2-pinches of saffron in my wild rice, and I don't drain it's so rich. Very nice. Texture? It's up to you. Moose Lake wild rice.
I made it just now. I’m a big fan of both brown and wild rice and I’m very happy with this blend. I added dried minced onion at the beginning, and served it with some fresh raw minced garlic and soy sauce. I will totally repeat buy. Delicious!!
Just want to say your review was just on point! Thank you for your review and sharing with us. I just ordered this rice and hope my family would love it. I cook lots of curries and hope it taste good with this rice. Love from Toronto🙏
Thank you for this review. I recently fell in love with the small commercial box blends of wild rice with seasoning packets and orzo added. This product is much more cost effective, a bit healthier and I don't mind flavoring it myself. Will order it soon!
I’m searching for a good rice blend and I agree with you. I have found my favorite its a blend by Rice Select, I’ve even went to bulk sections and tried making my own blend . Love these videos, save us time and money .
Awesome, Anna! I'm glad the video was helpful to you (and that others are as well!). Thanks for watching and sharing, and also the info about the blend by Rice Select. I'll look that one up and give it a try. Happy holidays to you and yours :)
Judi, Thank you so much for this video. I just made the rice and it's pretty good but I too think I'll add more water or broth and cook for longer next time. Perhaps a bit over two cups and cook for an hour. Seasoning is definitely needed. :)
Hi! Thanks for watching and sharing your experience! I know that different ranges can cook things differently, especially gas vs electric. Maybe that's the difference.
@@user-pn5ck3ni8i I do believe the Lundberg Company does not push to rinse their rise, whereas other brands do recommend their rice to be rinsed. I really think it depends on where it is grown (hence, the soil conditions). Lundberg rice is grown on the West coast (USA) where the soil is in good condition and has not been contaminated in years past by arsenic-containing pesticides (that were used in the South on cotton crops way back when). I often buy different brands of rice, not just Lundberg (although I do prefer their rice), so I'm in the habit of rinsing rice since many times, I don't know where it was grown. I'm glad the review was helpful to you! Best wishes :)
I just made this rice in the oven with chicken broccoli red bell pepper onion stock and the pack said to rinse 1-2 mins... maybe u had the preached bag 😅idk 🤔 🤷🏿♀️
@@ladybsoludacris Thanks for watching and sharing! I'm sure it was delicious :) Regarding the rinsing...I don't know. Maybe they've revamped the instructions in recent years, but I don't think my package said to rinse the rice. Anyway, it never hurts to rinse it! No worries :)
Lundberg is good brand. I used to buy it all the time in health food stores, up to a few years ago. I can't find it anymore in Montreal. Judi, I would very much appreciate a tutorial on wild rice. Thanks👍👍😊
Thanks so much for commenting Kate! It's interesting to know that you're in Canada! (I'm slowly learning that I have viewers all over the world...fascinating!) I agree that I too like the Lundberg brand. I make a point of buying their brown rice products. Sorry you can't find them in Montreal. Can you buy them online and have them shipped to you in Montreal? I do buy them online, not from any particular place. Thanks also for sharing your interest in another food...wild rice. I'll certainly add that to the list! I'm slowly building an encyclopedia of food and I feel like the list is potentially endless. Hence, more fuel for my fire! I'll work up wild rice as soon as I can. I'm working ahead (really, because I just have to), and am now posting videos into September. I'll try to get the wild rice done and worked in soon so it's not posted too far out. Thanks for sharing Kate! Your input is highly valued :)
Hi Kate! Thank you again for your suggestion for a tutorial on wild rice AND for your patience in my getting these things accomplished! The wild rice tutorial blog is now up and can be seen at www.judiklee.com/2019/08/10/wild-rice-101-the-basics/. The video series will air in October. I apologize for the delay, but I make videos in advance of them airing. This helps a lot in my scheduling and gives me some personal leeway. But since you requested this, I wanted you to know the blog is up in case you were waiting for the info. Thanks for tuning in and sending suggestions my way. You ARE appreciated! :)
I rinse my rice, put my butter in the pot and melt. Them stir my rice, put the water seasoning in. I don't cover my rice i let it boil, them i put the top on,put on a low flame, let it cook for thirty minutes. Take off the stove put a paper towel on the pot, keep it covered with the top. Its done
I find that brown rice is hard no matter how much you cook it or soak it. I have never made wild rice but I imagine it being a bit hard like brown rice
Hi Jennie! Thanks for watching and commenting! Your experience with brown rice is really interesting to me because I've never had such a problem. Thanks for sharing :)
Hi Rob! Thanks for watching and asking! I've checked out the Rice Select Royal Blend. It's definitely different than the Lundberg blend. The Rice Select Royal Blend of white rice with wild brown and red rice. The Lundberg blend is long grain brown, sweet brown, wild rice, red rice, and black rice. There is no white rice added to the Lundberg blend. Those were listed as per the ingredients list from both brands. Considering the Rice Select blend has more white rice than other types of rice, I can assume that the nutritional profile is not quite as good as that of the Lundberg blend. Why? The Lundberg blend is mostly brown rice with the others added. Brown rice has a far better nutritional profile than does white rice, so that alone makes the Lundberg blend stronger nutritionally. However, I'm not discounting value in the Rice Select blend. If you prefer the flavor of the Rice Select blend, then enjoy it as you want! If you're looking for a stronger nutritional profile, the Lundberg brand should be a better option. I hope this helps! Happy 2022 to you and yours :)
@@JudiintheKitchen I ordered the Lundberg. 25 minutes of pressure cooking and still not done. I'm going to stick with the Rice Select. I just don't have that kind of time.

I tried this product before. The instructions on the bag aren't accurate. The rice ends up crunchy.
Hi! Thanks for watching and sharing your experience! I know that different ranges can cook things differently, especially gas vs electric. Maybe that's the difference.
i had the SAME issue. made me very sad because i was so excited about it, i will try again tho & see the result
The instructions as written also say to “rinse the rise under cool water for 1-2 minutes” but you seem to have skipped that.
Thank you for watching and pointing that out!
My package has no mention of rinsing the rice. Thanks for the review of the rice Judi.
