Discussion

Comunican (asker) Jan 14, 2007:
yes, it could be pudding rice - I'm not sure. It is written without quotation marks. Yes, it appears in a list of types.
Rachel Fell Jan 14, 2007:
how is it written, e.g. in inverted commas? Is it a list of types? Also, perhaps "flaked rice/rice flakes" - see this page

Rachel Fell Jan 14, 2007:
could it be "pudding rice", which is a type of short grain rice used for rice pudding in UK? http://www.deliaonline.com/recipes/old-fashioned-rice-puddin...
patricia scott Jan 14, 2007:
There is a Japanese dish called rice porridge - Could this refer to a Japanese rice variety?
Comunican (asker) Jan 14, 2007:
It's not "porridge" sorry, just to be clear - this is not "porridge" - I know what porridge is (made with oats) - this term is used in a list of different types of RICE... strange that such an English/Scottish word should be used in describing a type of rice. Does anyone know what sort of rice it is, please?
Thanks

arroz mochi/moti

Con este arroz se hace el congee, que es un tipo de "gruel" o "porridge" de arroz.

http://www.rwood.com/Recipes/Congee.htm - Congee (Rice Porridge)
Here's a recipe that's excellent for just about whatever ails you. Rice porridge, congee, jook . . . all of these are names for a long-simmered soup that is a perennial Asian dish. Gruel is a more apt translation, but please don't let that put you off! If soup sounds more appetizing, use more liquid and call it soup.

Having lived in São Paulo for over 21 years (largest japanese population outside Japan) and a vegetarian for many years (I currently also eat fish), I've tried dozens of different types of rice looking for the ideal one to make my favorite recipe: "arroz con leche". ;-)

This last reference is for rice porridge...& there are many many references! Then, it's definitely "congee" or rice porridge. Sorry if I was mislead, but since your question was posted in English it seems we all assumed it must be Eng>Spa.
Google congee and see what you get. Ex:

Note from asker:
thanks for your reply, Irina... I am actually trying to translate from Spanish to English here - the term in Spanish is a type of rice that they call "porridge" - do you think that rice porridge is the right English translation? I have never heard of it!)? Thanks for your help!
Peer comment(s):

agree Rachel Fell : http://www.recipetips.com/glossary-term/t--38283/porridge-ri... - tho' I wouldn't use this term for the UK, but probably"glutinous rice", which is used for congees, etc.
