- Rinse the short-grain rice thoroughly under cold running water, or by changing the water in the bowl several times until it runs completely clear. Put the rinsed rice in the rice cooker pot, cover with cold water (filtered drinking water is fine), add salt to taste, and close the lid. Set the "Porridge" program and wait—no special settings needed. Even though we're cooking with water rather than milk, all the milk-porridge settings work just fine here. Beyond the salt, you can stir in any seasonings or spices you like. If you have a sweet tooth, add sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, star anise, or lemon or orange zest, cutting back on the salt. If you prefer it savory, season with black or hot red pepper, ginger, or caraway. It all comes down to your taste and how you plan to serve it. After about 20 minutes (that's usually how long the program runs, though it varies by model), open the lid and enjoy a tender, thick, slightly creamy rice porridge. For better looks and flavor, stir in the butter until it melts completely. Serve the porridge hot.
- Depending on your taste, you can dress up the porridge with extra ingredients. Fresh fruit and berries (apples, bananas, strawberries), your favorite jams and preserves, or just a dusting of cinnamon all work beautifully. You can also add nuts, candied fruit, and dried fruit (raisins, dried apricots, prunes, dates). These extras boost the flavor and aroma and round out this carb-rich dish with some vitamins and protein. Enjoy—and have a great day!
