Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 cup rice (white or brown)
  • 4 cups coconut milk (can substitute with almond milk if preferred)
  • 2 cups water
  • 1/4 cup sugar (or honey for a natural sweetener)
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Optional Toppings

  • Fresh fruit (such as sliced bananas, mango, or berries)
  • Nuts (such as chopped almonds or cashews)
  • Seeds (such as chia seeds or pumpkin seeds)

Instructions

  1. Rinse the rice: Begin by rinsing the rice thoroughly under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch, preventing the porridge from becoming overly sticky.
  2. Combine ingredients: In a large pot, add the rinsed rice, coconut milk, water, sugar (or honey), and salt. Stir the mixture well to evenly distribute all the ingredients.
  3. Bring to a boil: Place the pot over medium heat and heat the mixture until it comes to a boil. Watch carefully to prevent it from boiling over.
  4. Simmer the porridge: Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer gently. Stir occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom. Continue cooking for 20 to 30 minutes until the rice softens and achieves a creamy, porridge-like consistency.
  5. Serve warm: Remove from heat and serve the porridge warm. Top with your choice of fresh fruit, nuts, or seeds for extra flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Using brown rice will result in a nuttier flavor and slightly chewier texture but requires a bit more cooking time.
  • Adjust sweetness according to your taste by varying the sugar or honey.
  • For a richer porridge, you can substitute part of the water with additional coconut milk.
  • Stir frequently during simmering to avoid the rice sticking and burning on the bottom of the pot.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated with a splash of coconut milk or water to loosen the texture.
