How long do you cook black rice?Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cover, reduce the heat to low, and simmer until the rice is chewy-tender and almost all of the liquid is absorbed, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from the heat and let stand, covered, for 10 minutes before fluffing and serving.
Does black rice need to be soaked?If you want the cooked rice to have a tender and moist texture, you should always pre-soak the rice before cooking.
