How to cook rice porridge in milk - general principles of cooking
To make porridge, you must have at hand two essential ingredients: milk and rice. All other products are added as desired.
Milk must be fresh. You can buy it both in the store and in the market. Make sure that it is suitable before you start cooking rice porridge in milk.
The taste of the finished dish depends directly on which rice is used. Best suited is round, starch rich. If you use a different type of rice, the porridge will turn out to be tasteless and uninteresting. Even adults, and not just children, will not want to eat it.
Rice should not be washed, otherwise it will turn out not porridge, but two separate ingredients in one pan. There is no need to be afraid of bonding. This is a plus for this dish.
It is advisable to first boil the cereal in water. If you immediately cook it in milk, then the process will take longer - rice is difficult to boil. You can soak the cereal in water at room temperature for half an hour.
Porridge will boil faster if the milk is boiled separately, and in the meantime, prepare the remaining ingredients.
Sugar and salt are added to the dish. To reduce the negative impact of the sweet ingredient, the finished porridge is sprinkled with cinnamon. Honey can successfully replace granulated sugar. It is added to an already cooked dish.
Dried fruits, chocolate, nuts are well combined with rice porridge.
It’s better to enjoy a dish right after it’s cooked.
After cooling, it can become very thick. However, lovers of chilled rice porridge with milk are also enough.
