My whole family really liked the rice porridge with meat. It's almost like pilaf, only in a frying pan. For the dish, I took a piece of pork with fat; such meat, in my opinion, becomes softer after cooking. I like regular long-grain rice; it doesn’t get too overcooked and looks appetizing. For rice porridge, it is quite possible to grate the carrots rather than cut them into large cubes. The dish turns out even more tender. I quickly fried the meat until golden brown, and then for another 10 minutes with vegetables over low heat. At the same time, the rice was also kept in water. This way, some of the starch will be washed out and the rice will swell slightly. Then I cooked it like pilaf. After cooking, I mixed everything. We like this porridge, it’s tender, tasty, filling! The rice was well soaked in meat and vegetable juices. This dish goes very well with a salad of fresh vegetables. Thanks for the recipe!
