‘Okayu’ Japanese Rice Porridge

<Easiest Method>
Place Cooked Japanese Short Grain Rice and Water in a saucepan, bring to the boil over medium high heat. Break down any lumps.

Once boiling, reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes. Add 1 pinch Salt and stir.

<Uncooked Rice Method>
Cook Japanese Short Grain Rice with Water in the ratio of 1:6. For example, cook 100ml Rice with 600ml Water.

Wash Rice by stirring it thoroughly in water a couple of times. Drain the rice, place into the rice cooker’s inner pot and add Water. Press Cook/Start button to cook. Add 1 pinch Salt and stir.

If you cook in a pot or saucepan, you need to be careful because it is easy to boil over. Once it is boiling, reduce heat to low, stir well, then cover with a lid but do not close completely. Cook for 40 minutes or until rice is soft. Add 1 pinch Salt and stir.
