Fill a large pot with 8 to 10 cups of water (or broth). Bring to a boil on high heat.
Meanwhile measure and rinse 1 cup of brown rice. Add rice to boiling water, stir, and continue boiling for 30 minutes.
Remove the pot from the heat. Drain the rice and return it to the pot. Cover it with a fitted lid (or aluminum foil) and allow it to rest for 10 minutes. (This allows the steam from inside the pot to finish cooking the rice.)
After the full 10 minutes, fluff with a fork, salt to taste, and serve.
