Ingredients

• 1 cup Short grain white rice
• 4 cups Water
• 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
• 1 cup Salt-free vegetable broth
• 1 teaspoon Grated fresh ginger
• 1 clove Minced garlic
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Chopped green onions (for garnish)
• 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the short grain white rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch.

Step 2

In a large saucepan or pot, combine the rinsed rice and 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and cover the pot. Let the rice simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 4

After 30 minutes, add the unsweetened almond milk and salt-free vegetable broth to the pot. Stir well to combine.

Step 5

Add the grated fresh ginger and minced garlic to the porridge and stir to incorporate the flavors.

Step 6

Continue to cook the mixture over low heat for an additional 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the porridge reaches your desired creamy consistency.

Step 7

Season the porridge with ground black pepper and drizzle the sesame oil over it before stirring gently.

Step 8

Remove the porridge from heat and let it cool slightly before serving.

Step 9

Serve the porridge hot, garnished with chopped green onions and sesame seeds for added flavor and texture.
