Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 6 cups milk
  • 3/4 cup Jasmine Rice
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a large heavy-bottomed pot, such as a Dutch oven, stir together the milk, jasmine rice, sugar, cinnamon, and salt until well mixed.
  2. Bring to Boil: Place the pot over high heat and bring the mixture to a boil, watching carefully to prevent it from boiling over.
  3. Simmer and Stir: Reduce the heat to low to maintain a gentle simmer. Cook uncovered, stirring frequently, for 30 to 35 minutes until the pudding becomes thick and creamy. During the last 5 to 10 minutes, stir constantly to prevent sticking and scorching on the bottom of the pot.
  4. Add Vanilla and Finish: Remove the pot from heat and stir in the tablespoon of vanilla extract to enhance the flavor. Allow the pudding to cool slightly before serving or serve warm.

Notes

  • Stirring constantly towards the end is essential to prevent the rice from sticking and burning on the pot’s bottom.
  • Use jasmine rice for the best texture and aroma; other rice types may alter the consistency and flavor.
  • You can adjust sugar to taste, especially if you prefer a less sweet pudding.
  • For a richer pudding, consider substituting half of the milk with cream or evaporated milk.
  • Serve warm or chilled, topped with a sprinkle of cinnamon or fresh fruit for added texture and flavor.
