Instant Pot Black Rice (Forbidden Rice)
Description
This recipe for Instant Pot Black Rice requires rinsing 1 cup of black rice under cold water and draining thoroughly before cooking. Using 1 cup of water for pressure cooking helps maintain the rice’s texture, resulting in a firm yet tender grain. The rice cooks under high pressure for 18 minutes followed by a 10-minute natural release, which allows the grains to absorb moisture evenly. The method yields black rice suitable for complementing hearty mains or incorporating into salads.
The black rice has a subtle chew and deep color that can stain cookware or serving dishes, so it’s advised to use utensils and containers that can handle potential staining. Fluff the rice with a fork before serving to separate the grains. This simple preparation highlights the unique qualities of black rice without added seasoning.
