Welcome to Chop Chop Chef, today I'm sharing my rice porridge recipe.

Use abura rice because its round kernels soak up milk better than long grain rice.

Gather full cream milk, abura rice, sugar, and vanilla sugar.

Add a little lemon zest for flavor, making sure to wash the lemon first.

Combine milk, rice, sugar, and vanilla sugar in a pot and turn the heat to high.

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer.

Set a timer for 30 minutes and stir occasionally for the first 5 minutes.

In the last 10-15 minutes, stir frequently to prevent burning.

After 30 minutes, taste the rice to ensure it's fully cooked and sweet enough.

In a separate pan, melt butter and add sugar to caramelize the cherries.

Add pitted cherries to the pan and warm them through, optionally adding fruit liquor for flavor.

Once the cherries are caramelized, turn off the heat and prepare for presentation.

Spoon rice porridge into a bowl and top with caramelized cherries.

Sprinkle cinnamon sugar over the top for garnish.

Serve and enjoy the rice porridge.
