Rice porridge is one of the healthiest and most delicious breakfast dishes. It is easy to cook rice porridge step by step if you strictly follow the rules for cooking this cereal. To cook delicious rice porridge, it is also important to choose the right type of cereal.

How to cook Rice porridge

Step 1

Rice porridge

Cook the porridge. Place water in a thick-bottomed saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil. Add washed rice. Reduce heat, cook, stirring constantly. Add salt. Cook the porridge until half-ready — until the liquid becomes jelly-like and the rice grains swell — 10–15 minutes. Add milk to the porridge — not all at once, but gradually. Continue stirring and cook until done for 5–7 minutes.
