Method
Preparation
- 1
Rinse the Rice
In a fine-mesh strainer, rinse the long-grain rice under cold running water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and prevents the rice from becoming gummy.
- 2
Cook the Rice
In a medium-sized pot, combine the rinsed rice and 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until the water is absorbed and the rice is tender.

Cook the Mixture
Increase the heat to medium and bring the mixture to a gentle boil. Then, reduce the heat to low, and simmer uncovered for about 30-40 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. Cook until the pudding thickens to your desired consistency.
