In a large pot, bring the water and rice to a boil.

When the rice is boiling, turn the heat down to medium-low. Place the lid on the pot—leave a little space to allow the steam to escape.

Cook on medium-low, stirring occasionally, until the rice has the thick, creamy texture of porridge. This can take about 50 minute.

Add salt to taste, along with any other desired seasonings.

Garnish with chopped peanuts and green onion.
