Note: “X-minute porridge” and “X-times porridge” are completely different things.

Steps

1

Rinse the rice and drain well.
2

Add the amount of water for the porridge consistency you want. If you have time, let the rice soak in the water for 20 minutes to 1 hour. In summer, soak it in the refrigerator.
3

Cook using the porridge setting on your rice cooker. For soft rice, use the regular rice setting.
4

After cooking, stir the porridge and let it sit for about 5 minutes. This helps the moisture settle evenly.
5

Once cooled, transfer to containers and freeze. When ready to eat, reheat thoroughly in the microwave.
6

Note: When stirring in step 4, mix by cutting through the porridge rather than kneading, or it will get gluey!
7

With the 3:1 porridge, you can make about four portions of 2.5–2.8 oz (70–80 g) each. Freezing portions is super convenient for busy days!
