IRAQI PINK RICE
From sooogood. Do not make this in a rice cooker. It is not Chinese food. Because the rice is steam cooked, it is important not to open lid while cooking, and to add the correct amount of water. One recipe uses ketchup, not tomato paste. I am adding the option of adding more water for a mushier rice per UmmBinat's suggestion since she is from the region and would know. Cook to your taste.

Tips for Cooking Perfect Pink Rice:
- Use the right type of rice: Jasmine or Thai rice is recommended for its long, slender grains that absorb the coloring well.
- Rinse the rice thoroughly: This removes excess starch and helps the rice cook evenly.
- Use a generous amount of water: About 1 1/2 cups of water for every cup of rice.
- Add the butterfly pea flower early on: This allows the color to infuse the rice throughout the cooking process.
- Let the rice rest before serving: This helps the rice absorb any remaining liquid and gives it a chance to develop a more intense flavor.
Conclusion:
Pink rice is a delicious and visually appealing dish that can be enjoyed on its own or as a side dish. With its vibrant color and nutty flavor, it's sure to be a hit at your next party or potluck. So next time you're looking for a unique and flavorful rice dish, give pink rice a try!
