This is a super easy, healthy, and delicious dessert that honestly sorta took over my worlds.  It completely twists rice and porridge into something that is completely unexpected, practically flipping the whole concept of rice on its head.

Ingredients
  

  • ¾ C Black Rice aka Forbidden Rice (Washed)
  • 5 C Water (Add more if needed)
  • ½ C Brown Sugar
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 1 Knob Ginger (Smashed, adjust to taste)
  • ¼ C White Rice (Cooked)
  • Coconut milk (Topping)
  • Condensed Milk (Topping)
  • Fruit (Topping)

Instructions
 

  • Soak Black Rice for over an hour, preferably overnight, then transfer to a pot. Add in Water, Ginger, Salt, and Brown Sugar in the pot and bring to a boil.
  • When the pot begins to boil, mix in White Rice. Lid and simmer for about an hour or until the desired consistency is reached. Stir occasionally to prevent burning. Add more water if needed.
  • Garnish with Coconut Milk, Condensed Milk and Fruit.

Notes

Adjust Ginger, Sugar, and Salt to personal taste.
Soak the Black Rice so that it will cook quicker.
By adding Cooked White Rice, it will help reduce the boiling time, make the Black Rice Kernels have a better texture after cooking, and thicken the mixture.
Stir occasionally to prevent burning at the bottom of the pot.
