Ground rice is most commonly eaten after being cooked into a porridge or pudding. Here's how it's typically prepared:
Cooking Ground Rice
-
Preparation: In a pan, combine ground rice with 2-3 inches of water, ensuring the rice is covered.
-
Cooking Process: Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer. Allow it to cook down until it reaches a thick consistency, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
-
Finishing Touches: Once thickened, you can mix in milk (cow's milk, almond milk, etc.) according to your preference for creaminess. Continue to reduce the mixture until it reaches your desired consistency.

Breakfast Porridge: Similar to oatmeal, ground rice can be a warm and comforting breakfast option.
