Someone mentioned brown rice.

I've started cooking brown rice by simmering it in excess water, then
draining.

I usually start with 1 cup of long grain brown rice and about 4 cups of
water (no salt.) Put it all in a heavy saucepan and bring to a boil.
Turn down to a low simmer, and cook for about 20 to 30 minutes (closer
to 20.) The rice will absorb more of the water than you'd expect.
Drain with a metal strainer, then return the hot rice back to the pot
and stir in about 1/4 tsp salt. Cover with a tight lid and let rest for
about 5 minutes.
