Reduce heat to medium and add a pinch of salt. Continue cooking for another 10 minutes while stirring often.
Lower the heat further if needed and cook for an additional 10 minutes on medium or low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once fully cooked (approximately 30 minutes total), remove from heat and mix in balsamic vinegar while scraping the pan’s bottom for extra flavor.
