Potato Rice Porridge

potato rice porridge

Introduction:

Potato is very starchy. So it is very suitable for cooking rice porridge which tastes perfect only when it is sticky enough. In addition, I have just learned that potato can enhance the digestive system, keep us young and etc. How can we live without potatoes?

The rice porridge that I am introducing to you is really simple. Few elements are involved in this recipe. It will not take much effort on you part, either. But it  will only take some time and gas or electricity on the stove’s part. We can make some simple time management to make the waiting nothing at all.

Ingredients:

Polished round-grained rice: 50 g

Potato: 200 g

Seasonings:

White sugar: 10 g

Clean water: 1000 ml (This will vary. You might want to add some water when you find that the porridge is too thick. Then next time, you might want to use a little bit more water. Vice versa. )

Preparation Work:

1. Rinse the rice clean and immerse it into clean water for half an hour, then strain the rice out;

2. Wash the potato(es) clean with water, peel it (them) and dice coarsely;

Boiling Steps:

1. Pour the clean water into a stockpot and drop the immersed rice in;

2. Boil it on high heat;

3. Add the potato dices into the pot when it is boiling;

4. Change to low heat and simmer it until the soup becomes porridge;

5. Season it with white sugar before enjoying it.

Cooking Tips:

Only with simmering can porridge become porridge. After the mixture of the rice and water boils for the first time, you will find out that the rice is still hard, that you need to chew the rice grains before swallow them, and that the water is still clear. However, after simmering for some time, you will find that the rice grains will melt themselves in your mouth and that the water is becoming starchy. It’s just looks porridge-ful.

Simmering is done with low heat.
