• 1 cup brown rice
• 2 cups water
• Some or all of the following
• 1 cup black beans or 1 cup other beans
• thai sweet black rice
• 1 cup potato, cubed
• 1 cup sweet potato, cubed
• 1 cup squash, cubed

• nutritional yeast (optional)
• soy sauce (optional)
• black sesame seed (optional)

1. Add the brown rice and water to the rice cooker. If you have "Thai sweet black rice" or "Chinese forbidden black rice", replace about 10% of your brown rice with this and your finished product will be a lovely purple and will have a different taste.
2. The beans should either be pre-soaked (preferred) or from a can. Drain, rinse, and add these to the rice cooker. If you're presoaking, the beans need about 8 hours to soak.
3. If using, add the garlic the cooker.
4. If using, add the sweet potato, squash, beet or potato, chop into cubes 1cm x 1cm for optimal cooking.
5. On a fuzzy logic cooker, set the cooker to the brown rice setting and turn it on. For an on/off cooker, turn it on.
6. If using, chop the kale.
7. In about 20-40 minutes, your cooker will complete cooking the rice. When the cooker is finished, open the lid, add the kale, and wait about another minute or two.
8. Open and serve. Top with oil, yeast, soy sauce and/or sesame seeds, to taste.
