Recipe Notes
Note 1: Use a store-bought wild rice blend or make your own blend by combining 1/2 cup of dry brown rice + 1/2 cup of dry wild rice in a rice cooker. Use the water setting indicated for brown rice (about 2 cup of water). Alternatively, cook the rice blend over a stovetop with 2.5 cups of water. Bring to a boil, cover with a lid, reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 40 minutes or until the rice has absorbed the water.
