Forbidden Rice Breakfast Bowls
I love summer fruits and can never have enough of them! This is a very nice change from the usual bowl of steel-cut oats most mornings. Any rice will work, but forbidden black rice makes this just a tiny bit better. I love the added taste, texture and protein this Ancient Chinese rice provides. This rice does take 1 hour to cook, like brown typically does. I find a rice cooker to be perfect for this. I start the rice and enjoy my morning coffee before I prepare the fruit. I hope you enjoy this as much as I do for breakfast.
