Ingredients

Scale

1 cup black rice (aka Forbidden Rice or Purple Rice)
1 ¼ cup water
¼ teaspoon salt

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Add black rice, water, and salt to the pressure cooker pot and stir.
Secure the lid and turn pressure release knob to a sealed position. Cook at high pressure for 20 minutes.
When cooking is complete, use a full natural release.
Fluff the rice with a fork. Serve immediately.

Notes

For an extra boost of flavor, use chicken or vegetable broth instead of water.
Fluff with a fork! Stirring with a spoon makes the rice mushy while a fork keeps the rice separated and fluffy.
Let the pressure release naturally to ensure the rice is perfectly tender. I do not recommend a quick release.
