In a medium saucepan, combine the milk, sugar, and salt over medium-low heat. Stir occasionally until the sugar dissolves and the milk is warm.
Add the minute rice to the saucepan. Stir well to combine and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens slightly.
In a small bowl, beat the egg lightly. Gradually temper the egg by adding a few spoonfuls of the hot rice mixture while whisking constantly.
Once tempered, pour the egg mixture back into the saucepan and stir well. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, stirring constantly, until the pudding thickens to your desired consistency.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and raisins (if using). Mix thoroughly.
Transfer the rice pudding to serving bowls and sprinkle with a pinch of ground cinnamon.
Serve warm or chilled. Enjoy your classic minute rice pudding!
