Asian Pear and Cinnamon Apple Rice Porridge

Today I am sharing an Asian Pear and Cinnamon Apple Rice Porridge Recipe. I ended up with loads of apples and several Asian pears from my kid’s school’s PTA apple sale and I knew I had to make this recipe. Obviously, it is vegan.

But first let’s appreciate this beautiful box of apples and Asian pears! These are from Kiyokawa Family Orchards and they always deliver fantastic pears and apples!

The Asian pears were generously given to me by another cool parent/friend from the school.

This Asian Pear and Cinnamon Apple Rice Porridge is a perfect treat on a cold, fall day. A day when ice cream probably wouldn’t feel so great. It’s hot, thick and creamy with the perfect hint of warm cinnamon spice. The cooked Asian pears and apples extract their juices into the rice porridge creating an even more autumnal medley of flavors.

I’ve always been into rice porridge. As a Filipina-American, I grew up eating Filipino Champorado and appreciated being able to try out different types of rice porridge growing up.

This Asian Pear and Cinnamon Apple Rice Porridge recipe, however, is one I especially love because it uses already cooked rice. I veganized and adapted this stellar recipe from Jennifer Korpak Bechtel’s Old-Fashioned Creamy Rice Pudding recipe. Thank you, Jennifer!

And if you have an imperfect batch of rice (say if it tastes chalky or if it was undercooked, etc), you can use that rice to make this! So don’t throw out that imperfect batch of rice!

It’s pretty easy to make this Asian Pear and Cinnamon Apple Rice Porridge.

The ingredients are: cooked white rice, vegan milk (I used soy), chopped apple (I used Honeycrisp), chopped Asian pears, kosher salt, aquafaba, organic cane sugar, olive oil, vanilla extract.

First and foremost, you whisk that aquafaba until foamy! The aquafaba is a replacement for the egg in the original recipe. Whisk it by going back and forth instead of making large circles around the bowl. It’s much faster to go back and forth in a line. Set aside when done.

Bring a medium or large sauce pan to, add the already cooked rice, three cups of the milk, cinnamon stick and kosher salt over medium heat. Cook this for 15 minutes, regularly stirring to prevent burning at the bottom, until it’s all nice and creamy.

When it’s thick, add remaining cup of vegan milk, the foamy aquafaba (do a quick whisk to make it foamy), apples, Asian pears, organic cane sugar and stir for another couple of minutes.

The only non-negotiable part of this is that you have to stir regularly. Because it’s a relatively quick dish to make especially with already cooked rice, it’s not cooked at a low heat where you can just walk away. This is a dish you do have to pay attention to and stir. If you burn the bottom, that would not be great so, you know….stay there and pay attention.

Hope you enjoy this perfect Asian Pear and Cinnamon Apple Rice Porridge! Oh and if you have leftovers, they taste great the next day – even cold! Just add a splash of vegan milk, stir and devour. Enjoy!

Print Recipe

Easy vegan Asian Pear and Cinnamon Apple Rice Porridge recipe. Recipe adapted from Jennifer Korpak Bechtel’s recipe on allrecipes.com.

  • Author: Jan Carlisle @ Bakeroise
  • Prep Time: 5
  • Cook Time: 15
  • Total Time: 20
  • Yield: 6 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups cooked white rice – I prefer Jasmine of course
  • 4 cups unsweetened soy milk, divided
  • Cinnamon stick
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 ⅓ cups chopped apple
  • 6 tablespoons aquafaba
  • ⅔ cup organic cane sugar
  • 1.5 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • Optional: cinnamon or Saigon cinnamon powder to sprinkle on top

 

 

Instructions

  1. Whisk the aquafaba until all foamy and looking like a winter wonderland.
  2. Combine the cooked white rice, 3 cups milk, and kosher salt in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook for 15 minutes – until thick and creamy. Regularly stir to prevent burning.
  3. Stir in the remaining cup of soy milk, foamy aquafaba (quickly whisk if it started to separate), apples and Asian pears and organic cane sugar and continue stirring for 2-3 minutes.
  4. Turn off heat and add the olive oil and vanilla extract into the rice porridge. Stir until thoroughly mixed for 10-15 seconds.

Notes

  1. The apples and pears will turn brown due to oxidation when refrigerated overnight. But they are still good! So enjoy them and don’t throw them out. They will keep good in the fridge for 3-4 days.
