Risgrynsgröt (eng. Rise Porridge, Rise Congee, Rice Pudding) is something Andrew loves to get for Breakfast. It is also the only porridge that I like. The recipe below together with our new Fuzzy Control Rice Cooker Hitachi RZ-CM18Y.

"Fuzzy logic technology, which allows the rice cooker to 'think' for itself and make fine adjustments to temperature and heating time to cook perfect rice every time." (quote from Zojirushi)

Ingredients

3 Cups Japanese Rice!   Nishiki
4 Cups Water    
14 Cups Milk   buy 3 l
½-1 teaspoon Salt    
       
Cooking time ~ 1 hour    
1 Cup = 200ml      

How To Do

You should buy Japanese rice, Nishiki is a good choice. We use low fat milk but it is a matter of what you have at home. Please note that you need to have approximately three liters of milk for this recipe. Clean the rice in a sieve and put all the ingredients into the rice cooker. Turn the machine on and wait for about one hour.

When done open the rice cooker and stir with a plastic or wooden spoon. It is now ready to be served.

You can save the porridge in the fridge or the freezer for later use. Take the amount that you need and put it in the microwave for a minute or two and your ready to eat. It can not be more simple!!

How to eat Swedish Rice Porridge.

The porridge should be served hot! Cinnamon and sugar is needed on the table when you eat Swedish Risgrynsgröt. Ann likes some cold milk with her porridge. I like my porridge the same way my grandfather (MorFar Otto) liked it, no milk and a nugget of butter or margarine.

Enjoy!!!
