1, steamed rice with black rice needs to be soaked in advance, and it must be soaked for one night before cooking with black rice. This is because black rice is different from other rice, and its outer layer is tough seed coat, which is difficult to cook, which will not only affect the taste, but also affect the absorption of nutrients. The method of soaking black rice is very simple. Wash the black rice first, then soak it in proper amount of water, and it can be used for cooking overnight. If the weather is hot, soak the black rice in the refrigerator to prevent deterioration.

2. Black rice belongs to coarse grains with hard texture. The outside is wrapped in a dense skin. If you cook directly without soaking, it is difficult for water to enter the interior, and it takes a long time to cook, and even if you cook, it is difficult to cook thoroughly. Therefore, it is suggested that before cooking black rice, it is best to soak it in clear water to absorb enough water inside, so that the skin of black rice can burst open and the external water can enter it, and the cooking time of black rice is faster.
