Rice porridge in a slow cooker on water

Round-grained rice is thoroughly washed in running cold water or by changing the water in the dishes several times until it is completely transparent. The washed rice is placed in the bowl of a slow cooker and filled with cold water (drinking, you can just filter it), add salt to taste and close the lid. We set the program "Milk porridge" and wait. No special settings are required. Despite the fact that our rice porridge is cooked on water, all the programmed parameters of milk porridge are suitable.

In addition to the mandatory salt, we can add other favorite seasonings and spices. Sweet lovers can also add sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, star anise, lemon or orange zest, reducing the amount of salt. Lovers of unsweetened porridges can flavor the dish with black or hot red pepper, ginger, cumin. The choice depends on the individual taste preferences of each, as well as on how rice porridge will be served.

After 20 minutes (usually the selected mode lasts that long, but different models of slow cookers have their own time), we can open the lid and enjoy delicious and tender, thick and slightly viscous rice porridge on the water.

To improve the appearance and taste, it is recommended to add butter, stirring thoroughly until it completely dissolves.

We serve rice porridge on water in hot form.

Depending on personal preferences, you can diversify the porridge with additional ingredients. Fresh fruits and berries (apples, bananas, strawberries), favorite jams and jams will help to diversify rice porridge, you can just sprinkle the porridge with cinnamon. You can also add nuts, candied fruits and dried fruits (raisins, dried apricots, prunes, dates). Such supplements will help to improve the taste, aroma and also make up for the lack of vitamins and proteins in the carbohydrate product.

Bon appetit! Good mood!
