Cooking method
-
Step 1:
Gather the ingredients for the porridge. Use short-grain rice — it cooks down softer and gives a more uniform porridge. Any fat content of milk works.
-
Step 2:
Rinse the rice several times in cold water to wash off the excess starch — usually 3 or 4 rinses is enough. Drain it completely.
-
Step 3:
Pour the water into a pot, add the sugar and a pinch of salt, and set it over heat. Bring to a boil so the sugar and salt dissolve. For milk porridge, I recommend a non-stick pot so the milk doesn't scorch — a heavy-bottomed pot works too.
-
Step 4:
Add the rinsed rice to the boiling water. Bring it back to a boil and cook the rice for 5 minutes over medium heat.
-
Step 5:
Separately, bring the milk to a boil so it doesn't shock the rice with a temperature drop and the porridge keeps cooking. Pour the boiling milk into the pot of rice, stir, cover, and cook for 5-7 minutes over low heat. Stir now and then and watch that it doesn't scorch.
-
Step 6:
The rice will swell noticeably and the porridge will thicken. If you prefer it looser, adjust the consistency with more milk or water. Keep in mind it thickens further as it sits. Take the pot off the heat and let it sit, covered, for another 15 minutes.

Step 7:
The rice porridge is ready! Spoon it into bowls and serve. You can add a little butter, jam, or fresh fruit and berries. Enjoy!
- Rice porridge holds a wide range of vitamins and minerals. It draws toxins and other harmful substances out of the body and coats the intestines, helping the digestive tract recover. You can keep the cooked porridge in the fridge for 2-3 days; reheat it in the microwave with a little water or milk if needed.
