Rice Pudding Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Cook the Rice

    Rinse the forbidden rice under cold water until the water runs clear. In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 30 minutes, or until the rice is tender.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Pudding

    Once the rice is cooked, add the coconut milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt to the saucepan. Stir well to combine. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens, about 15-20 minutes.

  3. 3

    Garnish with Kumquat and Pistachio

    While the pudding is cooking, slice kumquats thinly and chop pistachios. Once the pudding is thickened, remove from heat and let it cool slightly before serving. Top with sliced kumquat and chopped pistachios.
