The easy way to cook rice porridge
Recipe for rice porridge in microwave
Rice porridge is a favorite in many families, and the dish is both inexpensive and requires only a few ingredients. What makes many people balk is the long cooking time, and you’re expected to stand and stir the pot for the entire time it takes to finish cooking the porridge.
But in fact, you don’t have to subject yourself to the hassle of stirring the pot or potentially dealing with a stove burner with burned-on milk residue – you can use your microwave to cook the porridge. The result is at least just as good – and it’s much easier!
