Thin porridge: 1 cup of white rice, 13 cups of water.

The exact steps to make porridge are as follows:

First you can fill a bowl with the rice you need before you go to bed at night and put it in the freezer of the refrigerator and freeze it for one night.

When you get up in the morning fill a pot with water and bring it to a boil, then you can go and shuffle around and do the washing up that you need to do in the morning and when the water boils pour in the frozen rice.

After it boils, you can turn off the heat after about ten minutes or so. If you prefer a thicker consistency you can cook it longer.

A bowl of hot rice porridge is ready.
