    Rice Porridge Recipe

    This recipe for rice porridge is a common breakfast in the country of Chad. Making it reminds me of making oatmeal for breakfast, but instead of oats, white rice is used! I top my rice porridge with peanut butter, bananas, and brown sugar.

    “Hello Reader! I try my hardest to research recipes as best as I can before posting to ensure I am representing each culture correctly. If this recipe is from your country and I have made a mistake or you have suggestions for how to make it more authentic, I would love to hear! Please leave a comment below letting me know what should be different, and I will rework the recipe. It is always my intention to pay homage and respect to each cultural dish that I cook. Thanks for reading!”

    This rice porridge is a great way to enjoy the beauty of another country while also using ingredients and techniques that are common in Western homes. 

    It’s not that the ingredients, methods, or cooking styles used to make this dish are exotic or unique. The combination is simply something that I wouldn’t normally think to make without some prompting from Chad.   

    This rice porridge is a traditional breakfast in Chad, and can be enjoyed many different ways. Peanut butter is fairly standard across the board– you’d be hard pressed to find a recipe for Bouillie (the name for rice porridge in Chad) without it. 

    I typically eat my oatmeal with peanut butter and banana in the mornings, so I stuck with bananas. You can also choose to add strawberries or any other fruit of your choosing. 

    Can Rice Porridge be Reheated?

    This recipe for rice porridge cooks up nice and creamy and thick. The longer you let your rice porridge cool, the thicker it begins to be. I would recommend eating your rice porridge fresh. If you do need to reheat it, add a bit of milk into the bowl/pot before warming. This will add some moisture back into the recipe. 

    Is Rice Porridge Healthy? 

    I would definitely say that this rice porridge is on the healthier side of breakfast foods, though this depends largely on what ingredients you choose to top your breakfast with. 

    If you are trying to keep your rice porridge on the healthier side, I would recommend using no brown sugar and controlled portions of peanut butter. 

    What Ingredients are in this Rice Porridge Recipe? 

    Water
    Long grain white rice 
    Peanut butter
    Whole wheat flour
    Banana slices
    Brown sugar

    How to Cook Rice Porridge On the Stove

    In a small pot, boil your water on the stove. 

    Add rice into the pot and reduce the heat to a simmer. 

    Cook rice for 8 minutes, uncovered. 

    Mix flour with some extra water and add to the pot alongside the peanut butter. 

    Cook, uncovered for 10 minutes, stirring frequently to ensure your rice doesn’t burn.

    Top with more peanut butter, brown sugar, and bananas and enjoy!
