Instant Pot Forbidden Rice
Quick and easy perfect morsels of steamed black rice for your health and happiness.
Servings 8
Ingredients
- 4 cups forbidden or black rice organic
- 4 1/2 cups filtered water
Instructions
- Measure out 4 cups of rice into the inner cooking pot of the Instant Pot.
- Wash the rice by rubbing the grains firmly, but gently in generous levels of water over the sink.
- Drain the water, and repeat the process 3 times. Wash the rice in 3 changes of water, or until water is clear.
- When you drain the last change of water, make sure you drain all of it before the next step. The Instant Pot cooks the rice using high pressure, and does not evaporate moisture like a regular rice cooker.
- Measure 4 1/2 cups of filtered water into the inner pot, submerging all the rice grains. (Wipe the base of the inner pot with a tea towel for safety, before placing the pot inside the heating pot. You don't want to short the heating element).
- Close the lid, and set the valve on the "sealing" setting. Then press the "pressure cook" button, and set the time to 15 minutes. (It will take a while for the contents to come up to pressure).
- Let the Instant Pot do its thing. When the timer goes off, you have 2 options. Either you can do a quick release at 10 minutes if you need dinner ASAP, or let the pressure release naturally for about 15 minutes.
- Serve black rice with any Asian dish that goes well with rice.
