RICE PORRIDGE (SWEET RICE)
Steps:
- Bring water to boil in 3QT sauce pan. Stir in rice and butter. Cook uncovered over medium heat 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until water is absorbed and rice looks creamy. Stir in milk and salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer 50 to 55 minutes, stirring occasionally, until rice is tender. Stir in sugar and vanilla. Pour into serving bowl or dishes. Sprinkle with topping. Serve warm or cold.
Tips:
- Choose the right type of rice: Use short-grain rice like Arborio or Carnaroli for a creamy texture, or long-grain rice like basmati or jasmine for a lighter porridge.
- Soak the rice: Soaking the rice for 30 minutes to 1 hour before cooking helps it cook more evenly and prevents it from becoming mushy.
- Use the right ratio of liquid to rice: The general rule is 1 cup of rice to 2 cups of liquid, but you may need to adjust this depending on the type of rice and the desired consistency.
- Bring the liquid to a boil: Before adding the rice, bring the liquid to a boil. This helps prevent the rice from clumping together.
- Simmer gently: Once the rice is added, reduce the heat to low and simmer gently for 15-20 minutes, or until the rice is cooked through and the porridge has reached your desired consistency.
- Stir occasionally: Stir the porridge occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the pot and to help it cook evenly.
- Season to taste: Once the porridge is cooked, season it to taste with salt, pepper, or other desired spices.
- Add toppings: Before serving, top the porridge with your favorite toppings such as fruits, nuts, seeds, or honey.
