Purple rice has a deep black color, but it turns purple when people cook it. Sometimes, people call it black rice. It grows mainly in Asia and is slightly chewy with a nutty flavor.
HOW TO COOK PURPLE RICE?
- Rinse the rice three or four times in cool water.
- Add 2 cups of water to each cup of rice in a pan.
- Bring the water to a gentle boil with a tablespoon and a pinch of salt. Alternatively, use stock or coconut water to add flavor.
- Cover the pot and reduce the heat to let it simmer for about 20 minutes or until the rice has absorbed all of the liquid.
- Remove the pot from the heat and let it stand for 5 minutes with the lid on.
To make softer rice, use an extra quarter of a cup of water and cook it over a low flame for a further 10 minutes.
