Ingredients
- 1 cup rice I prefer to use brown rice, uncooked
- 4 1/2 cups water (or alternative--see Recipe Notes)
- 3/4 teaspoon salt (optional--see Recipe Notes)
- optional toppings (see Recipe Notes)
Instructions
- Grind rice coarsely in a blender or coffee grinder.
- Heat liquid over medium heat to a slow boil.
- Add rice gradually, stirring while adding.
- Cover and simmer for 5-15 minutes, until thickened. Stir occasionally and add more liquid as needed.
- Serve with desired toppings.
Notes
- Watch the pan when cooking the cereal. If necessary, add more liquid to keep the cereal from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
- You can boost the nutritional value of this dish by soaking the rice overnight.
- Rice: You can use any variety you choose. I prefer whole grain brown rice. If you use white rice it will cook much faster, but it has less fiber and nutrition. White rice has a higher glycemic index as well.
- Liquid Options: For the liquid, you can use filtered water, milk, or a non-dairy milk like coconut milk, almond milk, or rice milk. I prefer coconut or almond milk to add more healthy fats to this otherwise carb-heavy dish.
- Optional toppings: I recommend butter or another fat, like coconut oil, sweetener, cinnamon, and a dash of salt.
- Salt: I mention in the recipe card that salt is optional. For me, it most certainly is not. Try it with a dash and you'll see what I mean. It accents the sweetener, and the cereal just isn't the same without it.
- Cooking Time: Your cooking time will depend on the size of the grains after processing, so adjust accordingly.
