Classic Rice Porridge

Instructions

1. 1

   Rinse the white rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

2. 2

   In a large pot, combine the rinsed rice and water. Bring to a boil over high heat.

3. 3

   Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and add the salt. Stir to combine.

4. 4

   Cover the pot with a lid and let the rice simmer for about 18-20 minutes, or until the rice is tender and the water is mostly absorbed.

5. 5

   Remove the pot from heat and let it stand covered for 5 minutes to allow the rice to steam and become creamy.

6. 6

   After 5 minutes, stir the porridge to check the consistency. If it's too thick, you can add a little more water or milk to reach your desired consistency.

7. 7

   Serve the rice porridge hot in bowls. If desired, add milk or cream, honey or sugar, and a sprinkle of cinnamon to taste.
