I thought I would share a very simple recipe, you might already know it, it is rice porridge. You can basically doctor it up any way you like. It is good just plain. You can also dress it like oatmeal and make it sweet. You can also add vegetables and make it into a stew with meat if you want to. It is a simple recipe. The ingredients are rice, water, and salt. Today I made some, I topped mine with raw onions and a little bit of chili oil. There really are no rules.
Ingredients:
1 cup of short grain white rice (any kind) I prefer jasmine or pearl rice
1/2 tsp salt or less
7 cups water
Directions:
I bring my water to boil in my electric kettle, it just makes it faster. Wash rice three times to remove starch. Put 1 cup of rice in the pan, add the 7 cups of water, bring to a boil. Then lower the heat to low and partially cover with a lid for about 40 minutes. Stir occasionally to make sure it is not sticking especially towards the end. That is it, you got rice porridge.
If you already happen to have some rice that is cooked. You can use the cooked rice. Use the same ratio, but cook for 1/2 the time. Here is a link to the calorie content. https://recipes.sparkpeople.com/reci...recipe=1119396
Here is a shot of my porridge with toppings. I do wish I would have eaten it plain though, next time.
