Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 25 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make rice porridge with water according to the classic recipe? Prepare the indicated products. Use round rice. Rice porridge differs from ordinary boiled rice in its structure; it should be neither liquid nor dry in taste, therefore, instead of the classic proportion of 1 part of cereal to 2-2.5 parts of water, the proportion of 1 part of cereal to 3 -3.5 parts liquid. Read more about the intricacies of choosing rice in a separate article, link at the end of the recipe.

2. STEP 2

   

   Pour the rice into a deep container, fill with water and rinse several times until the water is clear.

3. STEP 3

   

   Place the washed cereal in a cauldron, saucepan or saucepan with a non-stick bottom. The article on saucepans, link at the end of the recipe, will help you choose the ideal soup pot. Add salt to taste. If you are preparing sweet porridge, then add granulated sugar along with salt, but honey is added only when serving the porridge, since during heat treatment it loses all its beneficial properties.

4. STEP 4

   

   Pour boiling water over the rice and put it on the stove, turning on maximum heat. Bring to a boil and skim off the foam, then reduce the heat to medium and cook the porridge for about 20 minutes. Remember that the rice must be boiled, so add another 5-10 minutes to the usual 12-15 minutes of cooking.

5. STEP 5

   

   After the specified time, the porridge will be completely ready. There is no need to boil all the liquid from the container; the rice will absorb it itself when steamed.

6. STEP 6

   

   Add butter, reserving some for serving. Using a spoon or spatula, thoroughly stir the oil into the rice porridge. Instead of butter, you can add vegetable oil: cold-pressed olive oil, sunflower oil, but odorless.

7. STEP 7

   

   Cover the container with a lid, turning off the heat, and leave for 5-7 minutes so that the cereal “draws” the oil into itself, and the porridge turns out juicy and glossy.

8. STEP 8

   

   Place the prepared dish in plates, bowls, season with butter and serve. If desired, you can add a little honey, condensed milk if you like sweet dishes, or chopped herbs, grated cheese, cottage cheese. Bon appetit!

For a side dish, I always cook fluffy long grain rice. I needed rice porridge for breakfast, so I took round grain porridge. My daughter doesn’t like milk porridge, so I cook it with water for her. And in order for it to turn out tasty, it is important to maintain proportions. This recipe has just the right proportions of cereal and water. I also make sure to add sugar and salt, otherwise the porridge will be too bland. And of course you need delicious butter! It gives rice porridge a creamy taste and delicate consistency. The recipe has it all. That’s why my porridge turned out delicious, my daughter liked it) And it’s also filling, just enough portion to recharge your energy. Sometimes I add seasonal fruits and berries to the porridge, it gives different tastes)
