Rice Porridge

Traditional 49. Rice Porridge recipe

🧺 Ingredients

• 1 cup rice, rinsed
• 5 cups water
• 1/2 tsp salt
• Sugar to taste (optional)

👩‍🍳 How to make Rice Porridge

1. Bring water to boil (5 mins, high): In large pot, bring water to rolling boil.
2. Add rice and salt (2 mins, high): Add rinsed rice and salt, stir. Return to boil.
3. Reduce heat and simmer (20 mins, low): Reduce to gentle simmer. Rice should bubble slowly—each bubble takes 2-3 secs to break. Simmer 18-20 mins, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
4. Check consistency (2 mins, low): Rice should break down, creating creamy porridge. If too thick, add more hot water. If too thin, continue simmering to reduce water.
5. Finish (1 min, low): Stir in ghee. Add sugar if desired (for sweet porridge) or serve plain (for savory).
