Rinse the brown rice in a sieve under cold running water and place it in a small pot. Add water, salt, and soy sauce.
1 ½ cups brown rice + 3 ¼ cups water + ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt + 1 tablespoon soy sauce
Cook the rice: Bring the water to a boil, cover the pot, then turn the heat down to low and simmer the rice until it’s tender and the water has been absorbed. It will take about 45 minutes, but be sure to check the package instructions.
Add miso: Fluff the rice and gently stir in the miso, sesame oil, pepper, and chopped herbs.
3 teaspoons white miso + 1 tablespoon sesame oil + ¼ teaspoon black pepper + a few sprigs of cilantro

Rice: Make sure to check the package instructions regarding the appropriate cooking time. You can also make this recipe with white rice, but you will have to pay attention to the package instructions about the right rice and water ratio and cooking time.
White miso is the best choice, as it is flavorful yet mild. Red miso paste might be overpowering.
