Ginataang Black Rice
Ingredients
- 1 cup Agriko black rice
- 3 cups water
- 1 can (400ml) coconut milk
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 piece (2 inches) pandan leaf (optional but recommended)
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Topping fresh coconut cream or evaporated milk for serving
Instructions
-
Rinse Agriko black rice thoroughly under cold running water for 2-3 minutes until the water runs clear, removing excess starch.
-
In a heavy-bottomed pot, bring 3 cups of water to a boil. Add the rinsed black rice and pandan leaf (if using), then reduce heat to low and simmer covered for 30-35 minutes until rice is tender and most water is absorbed.
-
Stir in the brown sugar and sea salt until fully dissolved into the cooked rice.
-
Pour in the coconut milk slowly while stirring constantly to prevent lumps, ensuring even distribution throughout the rice.
-
Continue simmering on low heat for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the mixture becomes creamy and reaches your desired consistency.
-
Remove from heat, discard the pandan leaf, and stir in vanilla extract for added depth of flavor.
-
Divide into serving bowls and drizzle generously with coconut cream or evaporated milk. Serve warm or chilled, according to preference.
For a deeper, more authentic flavor, toast the black rice in a dry pan for 2-3 minutes before cooking—this brings out the grain's natural nutty notes and enhances the overall complexity of the dessert.
