Cooking

1. Rinse the rice well in cold water. Rinse until the water is clear, as shown in the photo. Put the rice in a saucepan and cover with cold water.

According to the shape of the grains, this cereal is long and round-granular. Chefs say that the most delicious porridge is obtained if it is cooked from long-grain rice. However, I can argue.

What kind of rice to choose

Any variety is suitable for milk porridge, just the benefits of different varieties are slightly different. Although, any rice porridge with milk is tasty and healthy. Our recipe today is from round-grain rice.

White rice is steamed and processed grains that are quite suitable for cooking for children or the elderly, the sick. In principle, they can be cooked by everyone.

Although, the harm of this variety of this cereal has not yet been established by anyone. Of course, almost everyone chooses the pretty white variety. And today's our recipe will be from it. But here it's a matter of taste. Undoubtedly, it is more beautiful, besides, the preparation of the dish is much faster.
