Black Rice in Rice Cooker Recipe

If you are looking for a hands off method for cooking black rice you are in the right place. Cooking black rice in a rice cooker is easy and deliver perfectly cooked rice every time.

📝 Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 1 cup black rice
• 1 3/4 cups water (or vegetable or chicken stock)
• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt (optional)

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Place black rice in a medium-mesh strainer and wash under cold running water until it runs clear.
2. 2Grease 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.
3. 3Place rinsed black rice, liquid of your choice, and salt. Give it a stir.
4. 4Put 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".
5. 5It should take somewhere between 50-60 minutes for it to cook completely.
6. 6Once it is done, open the lid, and fluff it with a fork before serving.
