Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup White rice (short-grain or medium-grain)
- 4 cups Whole milk
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Cinnamon (optional, for garnish)
- 0.5 cup Raisins or other dried fruits (optional)
Instructions
Rinse the rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This step removes excess starch and prevents the pudding from becoming overly sticky.
Add the rinsed rice, whole milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt to the bowl of your rice cooker.
Stir the ingredients gently to combine.
If using raisins or other dried fruits, stir them in at this step to allow them to plump up during cooking.
Close the lid of the rice cooker and set it to the 'porridge' or 'simmer' setting, if available. If your rice cooker doesn't have special settings, use the regular cooking setting but monitor closely.
Cook the mixture for 25-30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom and ensuring the milk doesn’t scorch.
Once the mixture has thickened to your desired consistency and the rice is tender, turn off the rice cooker. Keep in mind that the pudding will thicken further as it cools.
Transfer the rice pudding to serving bowls and let it cool slightly.
Garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon, or additional raisins if desired, and serve warm or chilled. Enjoy!
