This is a very simple dish. I sneaked in something simple but surprisingly flavorful into this black rice — I added a touch of ginger, hint of coconut, and finished it off with lime. The grain cooks up slightly sticky and changes to a very deep and pretty shade of purple, so the rice is also called forbidden rice or purple rice.
