For the Creaminess

1/3 cup Whole Milk Provides rich, creamy goodness; feel free to substitute with a dairy-free alternative.

Step-by-Step Instructions for 5-Ingredient Creamy Breakfast Rice

In a large sauté pan, add 1 cup of rinsed jasmine rice along with 1¾ cups of water. Stir gently to combine, making sure the rice is evenly distributed. Place the pan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil.
Once boiling, quickly cover the pan with a tight-fitting lid and reduce the heat to low. Allow the rice to simmer for 15-20 minutes until all the water has been absorbed and the rice appears tender and fluffy.
After the rice is cooked, lower the heat to a gentle simmer. Stir in 1/3 cup of whole milk, 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter, and 2 tablespoons of sugar. Mix well to combine.
Once everything is melted and blended smoothly, turn off the heat. Serve the warm breakfast rice immediately in bowls with optional toppings.
