Rice porridge is not the most popular Jamaican porridge but when it come to taste, it falls in the top category.
How To Make Rice Porridge From Scratch
- Wash the one cup of rice to remove as much of the starch as possible.
- Put the rice to cook in a saucepan with fours cups of water, quarter teaspoon of salt and a cinnamon stick/leaf
- Cook until the rice is tender
- Add a cup of unsweetened milk. Let the rice absorb the milk.
- Sweeten with condensed milk
It is that simple.
What Rice To Use
I usually use white rice to make rice porridge because it easier to cook.
I sometime use brown rice because it’s much healthier but it takes a bit longer to cook.
Milk To Use
It’s up to you the type of milk you use.
I use unsweetened plant based milks such as soya milk, almond milk, rice milk.
If you are vegan you can use vegan condensed milk to sweeten the porridge.

Great recipe, I tried this yesterday for breakfast and it tasted wonderful.
Glad to hear that. Thanks for sharing
I just I just made this rice porridge (rice pudding) this morning and gave it to my mother and husband and both like it. My mother, who also make Caribbean dishes (Caribbean background), she said this is a rice pudding because of the thick consistency; not porridge.
Its yummy.. I needed to add a little flour as well.. Thanks Lisa
Hi Lesa, tried your rice porridge its very nice.Whenever I’m making mine I always add a little flour to hold it together. Just a thought
Kind regards.
