Thai Black Rice Pudding, also known as Bubur Ketan Hitam, is a popular dessert in Southeast Asia. It is made with black sticky rice, which has a nuttier and sweeter flavor than regular rice. Black rice is also known as "forbidden rice" due to its historical use as a rare and expensive food reserved for emperors in ancient China. Today, black rice is widely available and affordable, and has gained popularity due to its health benefits and unique flavor. Thai Black Rice Pudding is creamy, rich, and satisfying, and can be enjoyed warm or cold.

Instructions

1.	Rinse the black rice thoroughly and soak it in cold water for 4 to 6 hours or overnight.
2.	Drain the rice and place it in a large pot with 3 1/2 cups of cold water and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
3.	Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for about 30 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.
4.	Stir in 1/2 cup of sugar and 1 cup of coconut milk, and simmer for an additional 15 minutes, or until the pudding thickens.
5.	If the rice pudding is too thick, add more coconut milk or water to achieve a desired consistency.
