COOKING METHOD:
1. To cook delicious rice porridge with milk, first you need to prepare the cereal.
For this dish, the best type of rice is short-grain rice, which cooks well and allows you to get a more viscous porridge.
First, you need to sort the rice, removing low-quality grains and debris, and rinse thoroughly to rid it of excess starch. I usually wash the rice in a colander under running cold water. You can do it differently: pour the rice grains into a bowl, add plenty of cold water, stir the rice in the water a little and drain the cloudy water. Repeat this procedure 3 to 4 times until the water above the rice remains clear.
2. Place the washed rice in a saucepan, preferably with a thick bottom, pour in 2 tbsp. cold water and place over medium heat. When the water boils, reduce the heat and cook the porridge for 6 - 8 minutes, until the water is completely absorbed. 
3. Pour 2 tbsp into the pan. cold milk and cook the porridge until cooked for 20 - 25 minutes. Rice porridge should be stirred frequently and ensure that it does not burn as the liquid boils away. 
4. Pour in the remaining glass of milk gradually at the end of cooking, bringing the porridge to the desired consistency. It should be remembered that after standing for a while, the porridge will become even thicker. 
5. A couple of minutes before it’s ready, add sugar and salt to the porridge, mix everything thoroughly. Cover the finished porridge with a lid and let it brew for 15 minutes. 
Thick, hearty rice porridge with milk is ready! Don't forget to put a piece of butter in it before serving. You can also add honey, jam, fresh or dried berries and fruits to the porridge.

If you don’t yet know how to cook milk rice porridge, then you definitely need to get acquainted with my recipe today. To be honest, I learned this method of cooking relatively recently, when I was faced with the question of how to cook porridge for my daughter.
Children are still picky people and are very sensitive to porridge. They should have a special consistency, pleasant structure and excellent taste - then your kids will definitely not refuse it.
A simple recipe with clear proportionsUnfortunately, there was no suitable recipe in my cookbook, and I couldn’t find anything more or less sensible on the Internet. And then I turned to a friend, a mother of three adorable kids, for help: I was sure that she knew exactly how to properly prepare rice porridge for children.
And I was not mistaken: my friend gladly told me all the intricacies of this process. It turned out that there are many nuances in it, from the proportion of all ingredients to the cooking time. Some moments even confused me at first, but still I did it as indicated in the recipe.
And you know, I came out with a very tasty baby rice porridge, exactly what I wanted - with a creamy texture, similar in consistency to jam! Now I cook it this way all the time. And I really want you to try it too!
Ingredients for 2 servings- 250 ml milk;
- 250 ml water;
- 50 ml round rice (50 g);
- 2 teaspoons butter;
- a pinch of salt;
- sugar - to taste.
Short-grain rice is best suited for this porridge. The porridge turns out creamy, tender, similar to dessert.
Ideal proportion for rice porridge: 1:10. To make it easier to understand, I’ll give an example: Measure out 1 liter of liquid (50/50 milk with water), and then pour rice into a measuring glass to the 100 ml mark. I was preparing a small portion, so I divided this proportion in half.
It is very important to maintain proportions. To obtain rice porridge with a pleasant consistency, it is necessary to maintain a grain-to-liquid ratio of 1:10. The liquid in our case is water and milk. We take them in equal proportions.
Pour milk and water into a suitable size stainless steel pan with a thick bottom. Add the required amount of rice and mix.
Place the pan on low heat and cook, stirring occasionally. Only after 15 minutes the liquid in the pan will boil, by this time the rice will have swollen a little and been saturated with liquid.
Cook over low heat until the rice porridge is ready (another 25 minutes from the moment it boils). Cooking time may vary slightly, depending on the quality of the rice.
Add butter, salt, sugar (optional) to the finished porridge. Stir and cover with a lid. Wrap the pan with porridge in a towel and set aside for 20-30 minutes.
Our rice porridge with milk for the baby is ready and can be served.
If you did not add sugar to the porridge, you can serve it with your favorite jam, honey or condensed milk.
In porridge cooked in this way, the grains are not completely boiled, the grains of rice retain their shape, although they become soft.

Then the liquid is drained, the rice is poured with milk and cooked to the desired viscosity.
