How to Cook Black Rice in the Instant Pot Perfectly Every Time
Did you know that you can cook black rice in the Instant Pot in just 20 minutes Choosing an Instant Pot to cook your black rice will allow you to prepare the rest of your meal and still have perfectly cooked rice with minimal effort.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup black rice
- 1/4 tsp salt (optional for seasoning)
- 3/4 cup water
Instructions
- Measure 3/4 cup of black rice and wash in a rice washing bowl until the water is clear. It took me about 3 to 4 rinses.
- Transfer the washed rice to the Instant Pot insert. Add 3/4 cup water and ensure all of the rice is fully submerged. As an option, you can also add 1/4 tsp of salt for seasoning.
- Place the Instant Pot insert it into the Instant Pot and set it to Pressure Cook (or Manual) on Normal High for 18 minutes. After the Instant Pot beeps, allow the pressure to naturally release for about 10 minutes (do not touch it!).
- Fluff and serve with any of your favorite dishes!
Notes
- Keep leftover rice for up to a week in the fridge, tightly sealed.
- To reheat leftover black rice, place the rice in a container with a microwave-safe lid. Then, add about 1 tablespoon of water to the container and the rice.
- Microwave for 1 minute, then fluff the rice, heating in 10 to 20-second intervals.
