Rice Cereal

Rice cereal is a type of cereal that is made from processed rice grains. It's enjoyed by many, especially those with a gluten-intolerance or sensitivity due to its gluten-free qualities. Rice cereal is versatile and can be used in any course of a meal, from breakfast to dessert. However, people often get confused when it comes to cooking with rice cereal as it could either be served as is with milk or fruits or used in baking or cooking dishes. Getting the best out of your rice cereal depends on how you plan to use it. If you're using it as a breakfast cereal, the golden rule is to always add liquid to your cereal, not the other way around. This will prevent your cereal from getting soggy too quickly. If you're using rice cereal for cooking or baking, always follow the recipe instructions as rice cereal can either soften or harden when mixed with other ingredients. Lastly, if you're magically out of breadcrumbs, rice cereal can serve as a good alternative. Just crush it until it reaches similar breadcrumbs consistency and you're good to go!

Also, you can use rice cereal as a thickener for soups or gravies. Just mix in and heat until it reaches your desired thickness.
