👨‍🍳 作り方

1. 1

   In a medium saucepan, combine the rice, water, and salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 10 minutes, or until most of the water is absorbed.

2. 2

   Add the milk, sugar, butter, and vanilla bean seeds (and pod, if using) to the saucepan. Stir well.

   💡 プロのコツ: If using vanilla extract, add it in the final step.
3. 3

   Simmer gently over low heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking, for about 30-40 minutes, or until the porridge is thick and creamy and the rice is tender. Add more milk if it becomes too thick.

   💡 プロのコツ: A heavy-bottomed pot is recommended to prevent scorching.
4. 4

   Remove the vanilla bean pod (if used). Taste and add more sugar if desired.

   💡 プロのコツ: If you're playing the traditional almond game, hide a whole blanched almond in one of the servings.
5. 5

   Ladle the porridge into bowls. Top each serving with a pat of butter, a sprinkle of toasted sliced almonds, and a generous spoonful of cherry sauce.

   💡 プロのコツ: Serve immediately while warm.
