To use black rice, rinse it under cold water to remove impurities. Cook 1 cup of black rice with 2 cups of water on the stovetop over low heat for 30-40 minutes or until tender. Alternatively, use a rice cooker following the manufacturer's instructions. Season with herbs, spices, or olive oil to enhance the nutty flavor. Serve as a side dish, a base for grain bowls, salads, stir-fries, or desserts. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Enjoy the unique taste and nutritional benefits of black rice in various dishes!
