In Scandinavian countries, rice porridges are very popular. As well as sweet porridges, rice is often also used in savory casserole type dishes. The rice they use is a starchy, short grain rice. The best substitute we have here is sticky/glutinous rice. In fact, they may be harvested from different places, but the sticky rice is pretty much the same they use in Scandinavia for these rice porridges and casseroles. If you don’t have an Asian market or a good market near you where you can buy sticky/sushi rice, you can substitute Arborio/risotto rice.
This recipe is adapted from The Cuisine of Finland by Anja Hill.
