Sweet Rice Porridge with Dates

 

 

 

Makes 2 servings

 

 

Ingredients

 

• White Rice ½ cup (75g)
  
• Pitted Dates, e.g. medjool (60g)
  

 

Directions

 

1. Wash the rice as normal (see How to Wash Rice). Then add water up to the 0.5 level for Rice Porridge. This is a lot more than you add when you're making regular rice.
   
2. Chop the dates into small pieces and add to the cooking bowl.
   
3. Make sure the exterior of the cooking bowl is dry, put it back into your rice cooker and close the lid. Then select the 'porridge' option and press start.
   

 

Prep time: under 10 minutes

 

Cooking time: 1 hour

 

 

Tip: Leaving the rice porridge to sit for an hour after it has finished cooking helps to bring out more of the sweetness from the dates.
