In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the cooked white rice, milk, sugar, and salt.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir the ingredients to combine.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low.
Let the rice pudding cook uncovered while stirring frequently to prevent sticking or burning. Cook for about 20 minutes, or until the mixture thickens to your desired pudding consistency.
Stir in the raisins and continue cooking for another 3-5 minutes to allow them to soften and incorporate their sweetness.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Spoon the rice pudding into serving bowls. Optional: Sprinkle ground cinnamon on top for garnish.
Serve warm or let it cool and serve chilled. Enjoy!
