Ingredients

1 cup black sticky rice
2 ¼ cups water

Directions

Wash rice well in several changes of cold water. Drain well. Place in a large heavy saucepan with a tight-fitting lid. Add water; bring to a vigorous boil over high heat. Cover, reduce heat to maintain a gentle simmer and cook until the rice is tender (but still a little chewy in the center) and the liquid is absorbed, 45 to 50 minutes.
Remove from heat; let stand, covered, for 10 minutes. Gently stir and serve.

Tips

Make Ahead Tip: Refrigerate for up to 2 days; reheat in the microwave.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
