Here is my submission for the Cook Grain on a Stove Top BB - Food Prep Aspect - sand.
For each method, I kept the recipe simple and repeatable:
2 cups of dry rice
4 cups of water
dash or two of salt
I used a stovetop!
To show you've completed this Badge Bit, you must provide:
- a picture of your grain cooking on the stovetop
- a picture showing your cooked grain that is obviously at least two cups

Tonight I cooked some brown rice on my propane stove. I started with 1.5 cups of rice and added water. I was taught a trick to add water to about double the height of the even layer of rice. That's the method I use for "measuring".
Here are the images.

The finished pot of rice. It should be around 3 cups or so.
Rice on the gas stove top, served under garlic fried shrimp topped with a reduction of the garlic and shrimp pan drippings, juice of one lime, 1 tbsp hoisin, 1 tbsp honey, and 1 tbsp water. From the garden, I added a diced shallot to the rice, a buttered delicata squash side, and a kale, carrot, and blue cheese salad.
One cup jasmine rice dry, 1.5 cups water, 3 cups finished!
