Carb counting and rice

I only eat brown rice. I boil a batch for about 80% of the recommended time and cool immediately. I then split it into 120 gms. portions, freeze and use are required. Boil the frozen portion for about five minutes in boiling water. This works well for me and the freezing process seems to lessen the carbs. content. Depending on how ‘al dente’ you like your rice, you can adjust the cooking times. I use similar methods for brown pasta and mashed potato....... portions are 120 gms. cooked weight for pasta and 150 gms. cooked weight for mash. The defrosted rice, allowed to dry for an hour or two is excellent for fried rice. We’re all different but this method and portion size works well for me.
Ps ...... Tesco boil in the bag brown rice works well in this method.
