The ratio of water to rice in porridge is 5:1. 5 cups of water to one cup of rice is the best measurement with a small measuring cup, if you like to eat thicker food, the ratio of water to rice can be 4:1.

If you don't have a measuring cup at home, you can use your fingers to measure the amount of water. For example, cooking rice is usually done by probing your middle finger into the water to the height of one knuckle. Horizontal line just to the first knuckle is best. Take the plane of the rice as the bottom, not the bottom of the pot.

Everyone's taste is different, some people like to eat rotten point, some people like to eat more granular point. So there is no specific standard.
