About Rice porridge

Rice porridge is a soft, spoonable preparation made by cooking rice with a generous amount of water or other liquid until the grains break down or become very tender. It can be thin and soupy or thick and creamy, with colour and texture depending on the rice and cooking method. Plain porridge has a mild, starchy flavour.

It is eaten as a breakfast or meal base and may be served plain or with added ingredients. Recipes vary in liquid ratio, rice type, cooking time, and toppings, so the name does not define a single formulation. A plain cooked porridge should be distinguished from instant mixes and finished dishes with added seasonings or other foods.
