Ingredients
- 2 cups short grain brown rice
- 8 cups purified water
- 1/2 teaspoon mineral-rich salt
- 8 to 12 pressed nori sheets cut into ¼-inch squares
- ¼ cup olive oil
- ¼ cup Ayurveda Every Day Gomasio
- 4 teaspoons gluten-free tamari or Bragg’s Liquid Aminos
Instructions
- Soak the rice in 4 cups of water for one hour and as long as overnight.

- Put the rice in a medium saucepan with the remaining 4 cups of water and salt.
- Bring the rice to boil over medium-high heat.
- Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the rice has absorbed all of the water, about 35 minutes.
