5 stepsSteps

Method

  1. 1 Soak the rice for 2 hours, then grind it with water to make a smooth rice water, and strain it through a sieve.
  2. 2 Simmer the rice water over low heat, stirring constantly until it thickens.
  3. 3 Pour in the fresh milk slowly and stir well; do not pour it all at once, otherwise the porridge will clump.
  4. 4 Continue simmering for 5 minutes, but do not let it boil vigorously as the milk will separate.
  5. 5 Season very lightly with salt, serve with sugar and honey to taste, and sprinkle with pine nuts.
