Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup white rice
- 3 cups water
- 2 cups milk
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 cup fresh fruit or berries (optional)
- 0.25 cup sliced almonds (optional)
Instructions
Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps to remove excess starch and prevents the porridge from becoming too sticky.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the saucepan, and let it simmer for about 15 minutes or until the rice is soft and the water is mostly absorbed.
Add the milk to the saucepan and stir to combine with the rice. Increase the heat to medium.
Stir in the sugar, salt, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. Continue to cook, stirring frequently to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the saucepan.
Cook for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the porridge reaches your desired consistency. It should be thick and creamy.
Once cooked, remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the butter until melted and incorporated.
Serve the rice porridge warm in individual bowls. Top with fresh fruit, berries, or sliced almonds if desired.
Enjoy as a wholesome, nutritious meal that can be customized with your favorite toppings.
