Boiled Brown Rice

Tonight I'm making Thai Green Curry and brown rice, and I want to do my brown rice without baking in butter and salt.  Just boiling and then simmering it tends to make it clumpy and overly starchy, so I'm trying out another similar-but-different method I found on Saveur.com

Ingredients
1 cup short, medium, or long-grain brown rice
Kosher salt to taste

Directions

1. Rinse rice in a strainer under cold running water for 30 seconds. Bring 12 cups water to a boil in a large pot with a tight-fitting lid over high heat. Add the rice, stir it once, and boil, uncovered, for 30 minutes. Pour the rice into a strainer over the sink.

2. Let the rice drain for 10 seconds, then return it to the pot, off the heat. Cover the pot and set it aside to allow the rice to steam for 10 minutes. Uncover the rice, fluff with a fork, and season with salt.
