Purple Rice aka Forbidden Rice

Joseph Taylor

Report

Purple rice (aka Forbidden rice) is a beautiful and nutty change from your usual white rice! It adds a touch of extra fibre, antioxidants, and of course, a lovely colour.

Instructions

In a bowl, combine white and black rice. Cover with water and rinse for 20 seconds, then drain. Repeat until the water is no longer cloudy (this usually takes me 2-3 rinses).
Drain well and add 3/4 cup water. Cover and let the rice soak for 2-4 hours so that the black rice will cook through.
After the rice has soaked, cook in rice cooker according to manufacturer's instructions (my rice cooker just has a "cook" button). Once cooked, don't open the lid and allow the rice to rest for 20 minutes on the keep-warm setting. This will yield a nice and fluffy rice!
Fluff with the rice paddle and enjoy :)
