Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup short-grain rice

  • 2 cups rice milk (unsweetened)

  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup/honey/stevia (optional)

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • Pinch of salt

  • Ground cinnamon (for garnish, optional)

  • Fresh fruit slices (such as strawberries or bananas, for serving, optional)

Directions

  • Place the rice in a fine-mesh strainer and rinse it under cold water until the water runs clear. This removes excess starch and prevents the pudding from becoming too thick.
  • In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and rice milk. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  • Once the mixture reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer uncovered. Stir occasionally to ensure the rice cooks evenly and doesn't stick to the bottom of the pan.
  • Sweeten (Optional): After about 20 minutes of cooking, when the rice is tender and the mixture has thickened, stir in the maple syrup, honey, or stevia (if using), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Continue to cook for an additional 5-10 minutes until the pudding reaches your desired consistency.
  • Once the pudding is cooked to your taste, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly. Divide the pudding among serving bowls and sprinkle with ground cinnamon if desired. You can also serve it with fresh fruit slices for added flavor and nutrition.
