This porridge takes its time on purpose — twenty to twenty-five minutes of simmering breaks the rice down until it's soft enough that it barely needs chewing, with grated carrot cooked in for a bit of color and gentle sweetness.
Plain, well-cooked rice porridge is a common go-to for people managing IBS or IBD, especially during flare-ups when simple, low-fiber, easy-to-digest foods feel more manageable. A pinch of ground ginger is optional if you want a little warmth, but the porridge is mild enough to eat as-is.
