How to cook rice porridge correctly / Recipes with photos

Rice can not only be served as a side dish for various dishes or in the form of pilaf. After all, there is a beautiful, ancient dish - porridge. But lately, almost everyone began to forget how to cook rice porridge, both sweet milk porridge or water-based porridge as a breakfast, and regular porridge with meat or mushrooms. I'll have to remind you.

Selection and preparation of rice

The taste and properties of porridge depend almost entirely on the properties of its main ingredient - rice. In principle, no matter what kind of cereal is suitable for this, incl. You can choose from your own preferences. But experienced cooks recommend using short-grain rice. If you want to be guaranteed to get crumbly porridge, then you should opt for long-grain varieties.

Before you start making porridge, the rice must be cooked. Previously, when cereals were sold by weight from canvas bags, it made sense to sort them out, removing bad grains and debris. You can skip this step for now. Packaged rice is usually fairly untainted.

But you shouldn’t abuse the grain by washing it. This must be done in cool water and repeat the function 5-7 times, i.e. until the water remains clear after rinsing. If you have time, you can soak the rice again in cool water for 20-30 minutes. This procedure is optional, but it will not be unnecessary.

How to cook rice porridge, proportions of cereal and water

Correct selection of the amount of water when cooking rice porridge is no less important than preparing the rice. Depending on whether there is more or less of it, the result will be different.

For 1 cup of rice you need to take:

for crumbly porridge – 2-2.5 glasses of water;
for viscous porridge – 4 glasses of water;
for watery porridge – 5-6 glasses of water.

These ratios obviously apply not only to glasses. You can measure using any containers, or you can use scales, especially since approximately 200 g of rice fits in a 200 ml glass.

How to cook rice porridge in water

It is believed that the easiest way to cook rice porridge is in water. It is usually served as a side dish, but people who for some reason are not allowed to drink milk can prepare this porridge for breakfast, adding a certain amount of sugar to taste.

Pour 2 cups of water into a saucepan, add half a teaspoon of salt (to make sweet porridge, also sugar) and put on fire. While the water is boiling, you can start cooking rice. For this amount of water, 1 glass of rice cereal will be enough. As soon as the water boils, pour the prepared cereal into a saucepan, stir and add butter to taste (can be butter, or can be vegetable). After boiling again, reduce the heat and cook the porridge for half an hour. From time to time the contents of the saucepan need to be stirred. When 30 minutes are up, turn off the gas, cover the saucepan with a lid and let the finished dish brew. This will take another 30 minutes.

How to cook rice porridge with milk

Surprisingly, rice porridge with milk is also first boiled in water. First you need to boil a couple of glasses of water in a saucepan and pour a glass of rice into it. The first cooking step takes 10 minutes. At the same time, the fire should be as low as possible, and the contents of the saucepan should be constantly stirred.

Place the cooked rice in a colander and wash. At the same time, boil milk (4 cups) in a saucepan, transfer half-cooked rice into it and cook for 20 minutes over low heat. At the very end, add salt and sweeten the porridge. Remove the finished dish from the heat, cover with a lid and let simmer for 10 minutes. Before serving, stir a little butter into the porridge.
