Ingredients
- 1/2 cup Rice
- 1 1/2 cups Milk
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 cup Raisins (optional) (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
- 2 tablespoons Cream (for serving, optional) (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
- 1 tablespoon Sugar (for serving, optional) (Quantity estimated (not specified in original recipe))
Instructions
- 1Rinse the rice in a fine-mesh strainer under cold running water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and helps prevent the rice from becoming sticky. This step is similar to cleaning the rice for boiling in water.
- 2In a saucepan, combine the rinsed rice, milk, and salt. If desired, add the raisins. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook for about 25-30 minutes, or until the rice is tender and has absorbed most of the milk. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
- 3Serve the rice hot, like a traditional rice pudding. Alternatively, you can press the cooked rice into small cups, let it cool, and then serve it chilled with cream and sugar, if desired.
