*This recipe was developed for Stainless Steel Food Jars SW-GCE36 and SW-EAE35/50. Adjustments may be required for making this recipe in other Food Jar models.

*Please make sure not to overfill the food jar with ingredients, as ingredients will expand with cooking, and may cause the lid to burst.

1
Preheat the food jar by pouring boiling water (not included in the ingredients list). Close the lid and allow to preheat.

2
Rinse rice well and drain. Place rinsed rice and all other ingredients in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Skim the surface if needed.

Discard hot water from the food jar. Fill with soup from step 2 until 1cm below the ridge and close lid. If soup does not fill to 1 cm below the ridge, add hot water to adjust. Allow porridge to cook for a minimum of 90 minutes and up to 6 hours.
