To speed things up, and to create a smooth-textured semolina-like end-product, I put the cooked brown rice (previously cooked in a rice-cooker) in a blender with rice milk, water, raw egg and vanilla, and blend till smooth. The mixture goes into a pot, a variety of dried fruit is added, and brought to the boil. When hot, the heat is turned off, a lid is put on the pot, and the porridge is left to stand for about 20 minutes to allow the heat to soften the fruit. It is like having a dessert for breakfast!
