Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Short grain white rice
- 4 cups Water
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 cup Salt-free vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon Grated fresh ginger
- 1 clove Minced garlic
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Chopped green onions (for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
Rinse the short grain white rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.
In a large saucepan or pot, combine the rinsed rice and 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let the rice simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
After 30 minutes, add the unsweetened almond milk and salt-free vegetable broth to the pot. Stir well to combine.
Add the grated fresh ginger and minced garlic to the porridge and stir to incorporate the flavors.
Continue to cook the mixture over low heat for an additional 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the porridge reaches your desired creamy consistency.
Season the porridge with ground black pepper and drizzle the sesame oil over it before stirring gently.
Remove the porridge from heat and let it cool slightly before serving.
Serve the porridge hot, garnished with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for added flavor and texture.
