Ingredients

• 1 cup black rice
• 4 cups water
• 1/4 cup sticky rice
• pinch sea salt
• 1 vanilla pod
• 1/2 cup palm/coconut sugar
• coconut cream or coconut milk
• optional: shaved coconut, vanilla ice cream

Directions

1. Soak black rice overnight in 4 cups water. Add sticky rice and soak another hour or two. Add pinch of sea salt and simmer rice until cooked – approximately 45 minutes. Rice should be soft to the bite, moist, and glistening. Pour out any excess cooking water.

2. Scrape the inside of a vanilla pod and add the essence to the cooked rice. Stir. Add sugar. ( You can add more or less than I suggested, depending on how sweet you like your pudding.) Stir again to coat. Now your silky black rice is ready to eat.

3. Top with coconut cream or coconut milk. You can also add shredded coconut and even vanilla ice cream to be totally decadent.
