How to make Chinese Black Rice

Rinse rice in a sieve under cold running water until water runs clear.

Bring rice, water (850ml ), 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoons pepper to a boil in a 2 2 1/2- to 3-quarts heavy saucepan, uncovered, over medium-high heat. Cover and reduce heat to low, then cook until rice is tender and most of water has been absorbed, about 35 minutes.
