Ingredients

• 1 cup Cooked white rice
• 1 cup Rolled oats
• 2 cups Water
• 1 cup Milk (or dairy-free alternative)
• 2 tablespoons Brown sugar (optional)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 teaspoon Butter (optional, for serving)
• 0 as desired Fresh fruit or nuts (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine the rolled oats, water, milk, brown sugar (if using), vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt.

Step 2

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 3

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and simmer the oatmeal for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until it thickens to your desired consistency.

Step 4

While the oatmeal is cooking, reheat the cooked white rice if it is cold. You can do this in the microwave or on the stovetop with a splash of water to prevent drying out.

Step 5

When the oatmeal is ready, add the reheated rice to the saucepan. Stir to combine the oatmeal and rice evenly.

Step 6

Cook the mixture for another 2-3 minutes on low heat, allowing the flavors to meld together.

Step 7

Taste and adjust sweetness or seasoning, if needed.

Step 8

Serve hot in bowls. Optionally, top with a small pat of butter, fresh fruit, or nuts for extra flavor and texture.
