Step 1

Place the black rice in a mesh sieve and run it under water until water runs clear.

Step 2

Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add and stir the black rice, onion, and almonds for 5 to 10 minutes, or until lightly toasted.

Step 3

Add the water and bouillon cube and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and cover the saucepan with a lid. Let the rice simmer for 25 to 30 minutes, or until it’s tender, and the water is completely absorbed.

Step 4

Let the rice cool for about 5 to 10 minutes, then fluff it with a fork.
