Black Rice in Rice Cooker
If you're seeking a hands-off way to cook black rice, you're in the right place. Using a rice cooker makes it simple and ensures perfectly cooked black rice every time.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 cup black rice
- 1 ¾ cups water, or vegetable or chicken stock
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt, optional
Instructions
- Place black rice in a medium-mesh strainer and wash under cold running water until it runs clear.
- Grease the rice cooker insert with a tablespoon of vegetable oil to prevent sticking. I use a sheet of paper towel to distribute the oil evenly throughout the insert.
- Place rinsed black rice, liquid of your choice, and salt. Give it a stir.
- Put the lid on and press the brown rice setting on your rice cooker. If your rice cooker does not have that function, then just press “cook”.
- It should take somewhere between 50-60 minutes for it to cook completely.
- Once it is done, open the lid, and fluff it with a fork before serving.
