Black Rice (How to cook them perfectly)

Have you ever tried black rice ?

I really like the nutty ,chewy texture of this kind of rice.

Yes they are expensive but super nutritious, whole grain and very filling.

So unlike white rice you don't have to eat a lot of them at a time.

Ingredients for my black rice meal prep

1 cup of water

1tsp oil( olive oil)

1tsp vegetable broth powder

How to cook them in an Instant pot

Rinse black rice under cold water for a few times.

Strain water from the rice.

Place all the ingredients in an Instant pot.

Pressure cook them for 18minutes, and let it natural releases.

I like to add a bit of oil because I cook a big batch of them to in the fridge for the next few days.The oil makes it easier to scoop out a portion.

And the black rice is the best kind of rice to create a rice salad because they don't get soggy.Yes they are meal prep friendly.

How to cook black rice with a normal pot

If you don't have a pressure cooker you can just boil them with a lot of water

just like boiling pasta but it takes for 35minutes to 40 minutes to be cooked.

Don't get freaked out the boiling water should look very black.
