Method
Cooking the Rice
Step 1: Rinse the Rice
Rinse 1 cup of rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming gummy.
Step 2: Cook the Rice
In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes or until the rice is tender and the water is absorbed.
Making the Pudding
Step 4: Flavor the Pudding
Add 1 tsp of vanilla extract, 1 tsp of cinnamon, and a pinch of salt to the mixture. Stir and bring to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Step 5: Simmer
Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer uncovered for about 30 minutes, stirring frequently until the pudding thickens to your desired consistency.
Serving the Pudding
Step 6: Serve
Once the pudding has thickened, remove it from heat. Spoon the rice pudding into serving dishes and let it cool slightly.
Step 7: Add Toppings
Sprinkle 1 tsp of ground cinnamon on top of each serving. Add raisins and chopped nuts as desired for added flavor and texture.
